Do you have a smaller tank, like a 5 gallon you could move them into?

If they're not a similar looking species and you have nowhere else to put them, I'd say put them together for now until you can find another spot for them.

That should be fine as long as they can't be sucked out through the holes. Maybe put a little filter/sponge material on the bottom of the bowl to prevent other fish from getting at them. You can feed them crushed flakes/pellets once the egg sac is gone.
