My female firemouth in my 30 gallon ( I thought she was a male ) just laid eggs but there's no male.....the only other fish are some corys and a pictus grow out. What should I do with the eggs? Should I buy a male from my LFS?

The eggs won't make it in time for a male to fertilize. There is no guarantee the female will accept a new male. If she does they would start all over w/ a new batch of eggs. The cories might eat the eggs.
