 What to feed...?

I am going to be ordering some salamander eggs and I am wondering what I should feed them when they start to hatch? I have some stuff left over that I am wondering about.....frozen blood worms, frog and tadpole bites, freeze dried blood worms, tropical fish flakes, a red flake w/freeze dried brine shrimp food (for betta), hikari tropical sinking wafers. What is the best option? Do I need live food, if so what is the best live food to get? Thanks, any help or comments greatly appreciated!!

live food: Brine shrimp, daphnia, blood worms

you can try and feed the non living food but they might not eat it, probably wont eat it

here is and awesome sheet on larvae care, I used it to raise blue spotted salamander larvae
