    Hard to tell from that pic, but if they have fuzz on them they are bad, if they are fertile they will start turning amber color.

    Agreed. We really need a more focused picture to be able to have a better idea.

    They look rather white to be fertilized viable eggs to me.

    Hard to tell from the pict, but yours appear to be unfertile to me.
    Photo attached of when I had corydoras breeding...eggs shown WERE fertile and from a bronze corydoras pair.

    Edit, those look too big to be cory eggs...got anything else in the tank that might be breeding?

    If they turn milky white, they are non viable and will eventually get fungused over (fuzzy).
