It's not likely any fry would survive with that many fish in the tank
unless
you have loads of plants they can hide in. Even then it's doubtful. *Good
plants for fry to hide in are Java moss, riccia and floating water sprite
or
water lettuce which does fine in aquariums.


Could I move the eggs to a net breeder or would I damage them in the
process?


===============================
Moving them would probably kill them. *Are you sure they not those small
snail eggs? *Are there any small snails in your tank? *Most smaller fish
scatter their eggs all over plants, they don't stick them to glass like
Angel fish and a few others. Also, any that are stuck where other fish can
find them are quickly eaten.

Move the fish leave the eggs where they are if you expect any chance
of them hatching. Plant eating plants (herbivoires) still love to eat
fish eggs so chances of those eggs hatching is slim to
none............I agree with the others odds are its cory eggs....in
all likelyhood.
