Hi j7aoc
 Congratulations and best of luck with them.  I'll move your thread to the Catfish section where it is more likely to be read by members who know about plecos.

Congrats, could you remove the eggs by any chance, or maybe remove all the other fish to stop them being eaten? If not, then simply place as many plants and shelters of the eggs as you can, to make sure they remain safe.
However, if they did hatch, you would need to move them into a seperate tank for them to survive.  Any pics?

what plecs are they? I'll guess Bristle noses..
I'll be willing to say that the fry will be food.. even as they grow they will still be food sized to an oscar

Make sure, when removing the eggs, to keep them under water at all times, and be as gentle as possible.

Also you might want to add some methylene blue to the hospital tank to stop the eggs getting fungus on then, good luck.

Personally i would move the eggs into a large breeding net(which you can get from your local fish store) for now and keep the net in the current tank for now, buy a 10gal tank later when the eggs hatch with suitable heater and filter and read up in this link on avoiding (and treating if need be) new tank syndrome and fishless cycling/setting up a new tank as it will have alot of useful info for you;
