odd eggs in my tank

I just found several patches of "eggs" in my aquarium but i'm confused how they got there. they're in my 10 gallon planted tank that has 2 sword tails (live bearers) 1 clown loach, 1 cory cat and 1 chinese algae eater. can any of these fish lay eggs without a mate or mate with a different species? or could they be something else? if any one can offer any insight it would be greatly appreciated. thanks a bunch

Snails?

My best thought would be corydoras, simply because of the placement patterns of the eggs. They are pale as snow which shows infertility. Also, I would get the cory another few companions, just a bit of advise.

Clown Loach are one of the hardest fresh water fish to breed in captivity due to they only breed when the water is high and tons of different things so if it happens to be a clown loach eggs get a school of them and breed the beasts
