Many Freshwater Fish if not most lay their eggs on the side of the aquarium where it is slightly colder. The eggs live off of their embryo sac for two-three weeks after hatching, so keeping them colder while they are eggs slows down their metabolism allowing them to use less of their embryo sac. If not on the side of the aquarium freshwater fish will lay their eggs on the plants (either live or plastic) that is in the aquarium. In the wild most freshwater fish spawn in areas of heavy plant life to give them a place to hide when they are born and to eat off the plants till they are big enough to eat more meaty foods.
For marine fish it all depends on their natural environment, many will only breed in the aquarium if the conditions are perfect. Drifting seaweed is a great place for many predatorial fish to lay their eggs. While fish that dwell in a reef generally like to find a small crevice to lay their eggs where other fish can't eat them. In a home aquarium marine fish will also lay their eggs on the glass to keep their babies metabolism down since they hatch when their embryo sac is depleted. They have to find food as small as 500 microns as soon as they eat.
tldr:
Over all the best places to look for fish eggs are either on the glass of the aquarium near the surface where their is more oxygen, in plants and coral, and in small caves just small enough for the parents to get in and out. If there are other fish species in the aquarium either the fish or the eggs themselves need to be removed to ensure something doesn't get a free meal. Many times the eggs will be eaten by a tank mate before someone even realized they are in the aquarium.
