Larvae separation and feeding

Hello.

A friend went on holiday and left her axies in my care, and lo, they bred. So I have about thirty hatchings and have a couple of questions, if anyone wouldn't mind humouring me.
For one, when should I separate them? Right now they're all in a tub and have plenty of room. Can I wait until they're larger?

Feeding is causing a bit of confusion for me, they eat their Baby brine shrimp and I've set up at hatchery, but I'm not sure how often to feed them. If I feed them more frequently, will they grow faster?

They're about a week old now, some less. They're getting little arm nubbins through. I'm thinking they're wild and yellow as the two girls in the tank are dirty faced and yellow, the male is wild type.

Any answers would be very much appreciated.

    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?
