Could be eggs. Are the angel fish guarding them? Do they look like little balls?

Um... your angel could be a breeding pair. Your cories might have mated... but it really doesn't sound like a parasite or any disease of some sort.

Are the eggs anywhere else? Any aggression by the angels?

As a side note, the glo-fish are a schooling species and should be kept with 6 of their own kind to let them thrive.

If the masses and eggs inside are small, and if the angels don't appear to show an interest (they're caring parents), then it could be snail eggs.  You might want to check and see if you have a snail infestation if it's not the fish.

Hi Catfishfriend,

When my Corys laid their eggs it was against the side wall of my tank,  they looked white in colour but not so much as jelly like, but they were small and in tight clumps, they covered the side wall completely, but because they are super glued to the glass there was nothing to do but watch and wait and eventually some hatched out before they were eaten, and i now have 4 lovely little baby corys, but i transferred them really carefully into a fishy nursery box, and fed them as i fed the other fish and they soon grew and got their colours, mine are peppered corys and once they were big enough i let them go into the tank where they have stayed together since :D

Don't panic but read about fish breeding aswel cos it takes some worries out of waiting for the babies to hatch out, and of course you have the more experienced guys here,that will always be willing to help you, Good Luck ;)

You may also wish to go to a Utube video I prepared in presenting the spawning habits of Goldies - It may assist you in becomming aware of similar spawning activity - that which you may not now precieve as nothing more than swimming - the link is below :
