Anything between 3-20ºC is perfectly ok. However, it´s advisable to allow for seasonal variations rather than keeping them at a steady temp if it´s on the higher part of the spectrum.
As for the larvae, the best results are usually achieved with relatively large tanks, fully cycled and well planted. This is the most stable environment and it typically works very well.
Also, it might be that the eggs they have laid so far ar duds, but viable ones will be produced later on, that´s not rare, so don´t despair.
