I just asked a question a few minutes ago and got the answers I needed. I went and watched my corydoras a few minutes ago and she was frantically going up and down the glass, swimming over all the plants, and digging what seems to be holes. Is she trying to find a place for eggs or just looking for food?
(I have a male in the tank)

I just did a 50% water change yesterday and there temp. dropped to 72F and it is usually 75F... Do you think they spawned maybe?

Egg laying behavior usually has to be induced with corydoras. They tend to spawn right after a large water change and a drop in barometric pressure, like after a big rainstorm. If you havn't done this, then most likely it is just searching for food. By the way, fish don't try to lay eggs. They either do or they don't.

Here is a site that explains it in detail, it actually looks like you encouraged them to spawn with the colder temperature

she could be laying eggs, but corys are a scavenging type of fish so im pretty sure that she is trying to lay eggs
