Get a 10 gallon tank now and set it up.
As soon as the fry are free swimmers, siphon them out and you should be good. Feed them 2-3 times per day and clean the tank DAILY as fry are sensitive to poor water conditions (that's a given).
Some would say keep the fry with the parents but they grow faster and you are able to feed to them them better without the parents going ape-crap on you.

The eggs that are white (fungused) were unfertilized which is totally normal. The eggs usually take 3-4 days to hatch as wrigglers and anther 3-4 days before they are free swimmers.
the eggs wont be fh pacu mix as FH breed by the female lays FH eggs and the male fertilizes them no internal fertilaisation is done .

I didn't quite understand your post. You are correct when you say there is no internal fertilization. What I meant was the male misses some as he goes by "holds up his end of the bargain"
