well corydoras are fom the amazon and its tributaries, they congregate in shallow pools, when it rains it triggers them to spawn. If you know its full of eggs, and in your other post you said you could see them, then you can do a water change with slightly colder water, and int he morning they should spawn. I'm not sure if the female would spawn without a male in the tank, usually you breed corys with a 2:1 ratio of males to females.
david said ice cubes in the filter will kill the helpful bacteria, so maybe just some ice cubes in the tank floating around, will simulate rainfall.

i'm not sure how long they will hold the eggs, some fish if they dont spawn they will re-absorb the eggs for nutrients. i think.
