Fish Tank Aeration Info

How do I go about caring for my Emerald Green Cory Catfish eggs?

My emerald green corys laid eggs on the glass of my fish tank. I actually got to see the female carrying a few eggs between her back fins which was pretty cool so I’m assuming her and her mate aren’t done spawning yet. But so far, my pleco was making a snack out of the eggs on the glass and i saw that some were actually falling off of the glass so I moved them to a 12 gallon tank, with nothing else in it, no gravel, just a filter and aeration. They are sitting in a net because I’m not sure if I should just let them float to the bottom. How do I take care of the eggs so that they will successfully hatch? Do they need lighting or should I leave the light off? Should I turn the filter off and let the eggs out of the net and fall to the bottom? How soon will they hatch, and how do I take care of them once they hatch? I’ve never had cory eggs before so I need a lot of info. Thanks!!!

Well, if the eggs have toughed air they will not hatch,. But if they have no, then let them fall to the botomg and once they hatch feed them micro worms.
