Do you have a male and female? If you really don't want the eggs, let the fish eat them (sound crude I know). If you have no male, the eggs won't hatch anyway. If you really want to keep them, I would suggest moving them to a breeder net.
Or just let nature take its course. Those that were meant to survive and hatch, hatch those that aren't will get eaten.
I've never moved any of my eggs. Some get eaten by the koi but suprisingly many survive and have grown to adults (Outside pond)

Let them eat them and don't feed your fish!! If they are in a tank the eggs will not survive. I'd watch your female for signs of stress. If there is a male in the tank he could have harrassed her too much. I'd clean all the eggs out this week, they will go rotten just like uneaten food and foul your tank. It isn't a joyous time when GF lay eggs in your tank, its a mess that needs cleaning. But for now let them eat them. Tomorrow syphon the rest out. Even if they were fertilized the parents will eat the fry. The only way to raise them is to separate them, eggs need absoulutely perfect water conditions to survive, not even any nitrates. Daily water changes and correct costant temperature is a must. That's why breeding is left to the pros, and even that most pros don't venture into breeding. It's costly and difficult with gf.

Ok, we'll break this into several points for easier answering..
Do you want to keep the eggs supposedly they were fertilized? --> if your answer is yes then continue reading...
if there are true fertile male and female --> eggs might hatch --> remove the parents and just wait for them to hatch. when they hatch feed them newly hatched BBS on the 3rd day. They still depend on their yolksac for the 1st n 2nd day.
If you don't want to keep them, just leave the parents there to eat the eggs. And then make partial water change.
Hope it helps.

i dont know either, prob just leave them, and if they hatch they hatch, if not, the other fish will prob eat them instead.

without being fertalized she will probably just eat them, no worries- it happens all the time.
