Can a female Corydoras lay eggs without a male?
It is likely the eggs are "spermed" (for lack of a better term) after they are layed. **This happens in the wild as well. The female does not need a male to lay eggs, but the eggs need a male to fertilize the eggs. The eggs will just stay eggs in the tank without a male to fertilize them. The female may also eat the eggs if left in there with her.

Will canaries lay eggs if there is no male?
no not really.Well, I do know that there is a particular kind of fish that, when the need is really high, a female can change itself into a male (with male genitalia), mate with the female and therefore lay eggs. However, this only suits the question when the transsexual fish is to be considered a female.
