baby axolotls - help? (please.)

[amberdoodle]

good evening everyone.

our axolotls have had babies!!! how exciting! Could anyone with some experience help us out on a few things as this is our second time, the first lot were unsuccessful; they all died . So we need some advice. This is day 14 and 3 have hatched and are swimming around and there are around 200 left, after taking out the dead ones, that so far seem healthy, wriggling around.
so we need advice on:
when to start feeding them?
how often to feed them?
if feeding daphnia (plan to buy a daphnia kit) how to do this successfully?
how to keep the water clean?
we currently have tham in a small plastic tank - when do we move them into a bigger tank?

thanks one and all - really appreciate any comments, advice, experience.
