My Surinam toads(Pipa pipa) just bred - what do I do now?

The two surinam toads I have have apparently mated. The male had been clasping the female for the last 4 days now & this morning there are over 100 eggs on the females back.
What I need to know now is:
What is the probability that they are fertile?
What temp should I keep the tank at?
I have a 90 gallon tank with several carnivorous fish(shovelnose cat, frogmouth cat, polypterous', knife fish, silver gar, as well as two plecos)...should I set up a new tank for the female only?
This was a very unplanned pregnancy...can someone give me advice and/or point me to a few good Pipa websites?
Thanks,
-JC

    with axolotls would I basically have to keep buying and buying new axolotls to prevent inbred breeding which costs a lot of money??

    Not necessarily but if you’re wanting to continue to grow your breeding capacity then yes. Breeding axolotls isn’t a cheap hobby nor is it a get rich quick scheme. It costs a lot of money and time and deditcation

    Would Chinese fire belly newts be more or less inclined towards an aquatic eft set up versus Japanese . I'm raising them and have abandoned the terrarium at about 5 months old and switched to the aquatic setups you describe. I'm wondering if I could do this as soon as they morph?
