Yeah look like Otto eggs to me too. I had some in my previous tank. The fry are ridiculously small when they emerge.

They really could of picked a better location for them,I do not fancy the babies chances there once they hatch.
 
Farlowella spawn similarly on tank glass, but their eggs are normally closer together (I got a dozen or so 2 day old eggs in one of my tank now.. no fungus either :) )
 
Good news, the eggs have hatches.
Bad news, I have no idea if the fry are ok.
 
Honestly they are tiny. It'll take a few days before you can see any and even then you need to sit at the tank for ages. They seems to sit just above the substrate line a lot.

These same fish have laid eggs before, just that I didn't see the eggs last time, one of them is from that batch.
 
Good news, at least one of the fry has survived so far, may be more but for now I have only seen one on the back glass.
