Found some eggs stuck to the side of the U2 filter in my 125L tank. It houses C. pygmaeus, C. habrosus, A. spilotus, and C. carlae (not using Italics because the forum gets stuck in Italics when I turn them on). The spilotus and the habrosus have spawned in there before, and a couple fry survived with no input from me. My money is on the A. spilotus, because they are randy wee buggers, but given the size of said eggs, there's a slim chance that they might belong to the carlaes. I think they're too big for the pygmaeus and habrosus. If they hatch, we'll find out.
I've scraped them into a breeder box and hung it on the side of the tank. Haven't tried this method before. We'll see how it goes. I obviously can't add methylene blue, but the tank runs grade II rapids, so the high current might prevent fungus.
