Congratulation, I had red eyed tetra which had at least 12 fry over 3 months that survived by hiding in the tank. I made several planted dark areas for them to hide. I noticed that they liked hiding by moss balls too. The larger gravel in your tank will also give them places to hide.

looks like it, you may want to see if you can get them to drop into the gravel so there is less chance to be eaten. If they fall down into openings between stones they would be a little safer.

My cory catfish were scavenging right were the eggs were dropped but hopefully they survive. I have one in a seperate tank and it has blue eyes and it looks amazing it is some much fun breeding egg layers. I have hard water but they breed somehow.

I also have cory catfish 
and yes they will eat them if they can get to them.

You could try and siphon them out of the tank if you have somewhere else to keep them. I used java moss in some of my hiding spots too.

I tried the syphon but they are too small and got spooked easy.

I had the same problem, I had several moss balls together and usually found the fry hiding there. The cory seemed to go after the eggs but not the fry but the adult tetra world try and eat the fry.
