i have got 6 of these fish. I am sure that i have 4Females and 2 males. I have gottem 4 spawns from them before and non of their eggs have been fertile/fungused within 2-3 days. All ranged from 12-27 eggs.
But today i had a spawn of 46 eggs. As usual i collected the eggs and put them in a small ice-cream container with an airstone and MB. Then attached it to the side of the parents tank. I have done this with other cory eggs and everything went well, but why do these cories keep giving me problems.
Any suggestions will be much appriciated.

I would suggest that you remove three of the females and see how the two males get along with just one female. You are probably having females release eggs without actually mating.

Try keeping the eggs in the dark. Many eggs are sensitive to the UV rays from flourescent lights. Often fish just starting to spawn lay bad eggs.
