Rick, thanks for your help on the cories, they've continued to lay eggs
about every 4 days now.... it seems that they are pushed into
spreading
eggs when water is changed, and I'm still unable to tell if I have 1M
or
2M... total of 3... but one is VERY much bigger... I'm hoping that's
the
male... but are all cory's as hard to sex???? Actually, I've never been
able
to sex a cory... any ideas how to tell???

Females are larger, plumper and have a more reddish tint on her belly.
Males are smaller and when in spawning conditions, are more brightly
coloured.

The larger one, does have a larger rear section, more parelell tops
and
bottom behind the dorsal fin, but can't find anything online, even at
planetcatfish that mentions how to sex a cory...

btw, they are bronze/green cories...

I spawned Corydorous aeneus, which might be what you have.

The eggs have filled up with little white dots, and can now see the
spine,
any ideas on what's next? what should they 'live' in?? a tank with 2 in
of
water isn't feasible, but if necessary, LFS I go....

Someone with more experience should advise you. You will need a source
of food (decaying plant matter = infusoria, frozen bbs, freshly hatched
bbs, tube fry food, powder fry food, boiled egg yolk etc), and a lower
water level for a while.
