First spawning in years

I used to breed bronze cory's a lot a few years ago as my female was very keen & couldn't keep her fins shut :)) I kept one of her daughters & she was like her mother but not constant & again I kept her daughter who sadly never bred but she also never gained the size of her mother & grandmother & stopped quite small but she was a great little cory.
I got given 3 bronce cory's a few days ago off a friend 1xF 2xM they have spent a lot of time swimming all over together & was wondering if they were thinking about spawning or just settling into the tank but this activity set off my 2 adult C.Habrosus who would swim with them. Well when I turned on the tank light this morning & after i'd fed the fish out of the corner of my eye I spotted about 45 eggs stuck onto the front glass :d I've placed them into a breeding trap for the minute as my fry tank isn't set up. I've got no idea who has spawned but due to the number of eggs I think it might have been the bronze cory's as I read in a book I have on cory's that C.Habrosus only lay about 30 eggs. Just hoping the fry hatch & i'm able to raise them so I can find out who's they are

Well i'm over the moon as about 1/2 of the eggs have hatched sadly fungus got the others, so just hoping I can keep the fry alive & in a few weeks will hopefully know who laid the eggs once the fry colour up
