*I think they are NOT positive but pretty sure* and 100% telling the truth*

Ok so I have a large group of rhinogobius candidianus in my tank. Wild caught. The prettiest alpha male is in front of a cave he's built underneath my lava rock. I have pics btw. The male is 3". The cave is very deep and spans the about 4"-5". I can't see anything inside except for this weird thing its silvery/black like a bunch of little balls stuck together looks like a group of eggs stuck togerther on top of the cave but I'm not sure... its really dark. can you help me out? Is he breeding? He's being very protective atm... chased the female out of the cave.

Yea the more I look inside the cave the more that silvery glob looks like a wad of eggs. The tank is a 100g discus commmunity tank. My german rams bred in the tank a few months back and I think my cories did too. But I never saw the cory eggs, just the german ram eggs.
