Can I keep hatchling orchids together in a net enclosure until L3 or so? Or do I have to separate immediately. Also, what conditions should I keep my orchid ooth in? 

 
You can theoretically keep them together, but like MrGhostMantis said, I would also reccomend separating them immediately. Unfortunately orchids as well as almost all species can be cannibalistic. And once the females get bigger than the males, the males will become snacks. If you have a dense huge enclosure, maybe... But don't risk orchids, they're expensive and hard to obtain. Hope this helped!  :)
