I found 3 places on the back of my tank near the top of the filter intake...

As a warning the pics are poor but I can't really access the back of the tank... they look like tiny white clumps... im thinking eggs but im also paranoid lol

if you look really close at the second pic you can see what im talking about just to the left of the flash. I'll see what I can do to get better pics

nope, no snails... Loaches make sure of that.

it could be my two angels but they both look male to me... neither one has a large bump on their head.

125G full list of possible suspects is:

2 marble angels
2 opaline gourami
5 clown loaches
7 cory cats (3 different types but also a lil doubtful due to placement)
and a handful of lamp eye tetra.

every other fish i have is single fish
 
My guess from the fish listed and the size of the eggs would be cory eggs.
 
Really?? i thought they would lay eggs on plants or in the gravel somewhere... i didn't think they'd be able to place eggs that high up the glass... but i'm uneducated in fish eggs so i'll take your word for it :)
 
oh i almost forgot... i have 2 Albino BNP... but they're both still really small (under 1 1/2") and neither one has developed bristles on their nose yet...
