Definitely not Cory eggs. Do they look like they are moving?

Hard to say.. not cory eggs though. Just look like darker coloured grains of your substrate?

No dont seem to be moving . I thought it was poop but its heavier and the vac won't lift it . Possible grains got dirty ? It's just it doesn't match the rest of my sand and looks bigger than the grains slightly. It's just in one or two patches

Have you put any root tabs in?

I think it’s just bigger granules of your gravel. I get similar rocks in my 29g.

Which root tabs have you used? Cories may have dug them up if you didnt bury them deep enough

Looks like you got some gravel in your gravel.
