raising Ambysomid eggs?

I just aquired some salamander eggs, most likely jeffersons or bluespotted, out of a vernal pool where I heard woodfrogs calling. They are assumed to have been layed last night. I need to know how to raise them to metamorphosis. Right now they are being stored in the water they were found in. Is aged ta water ok? How many can be kept per gallon? How deep should the water be? How often and what should they be fed...are tubifex worms ok? Vegitation and filtration? I have kept many tadpoles and frog eggs successfully over the years but this is my first attempt at salamanders so I am new to the area. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, can and should they be kept with woodfrog eggs. I have some woodfrog eggs that were found in the same pool and right now they are all being stored together?
Thanks
