i have had two gold severums in my 55 gallon tank for several years. Here recently they have started to breed and have babies. the first batch of babies were eaten, i'm not sure who, within three days. second batch of babies......same thing.
so i bought a small 5 gallon tank with filter, heater, etc. then when the third batch of babies came.....i took a bunch out and put them in the 5 gallon tank, which was filled with water from the 55 gallon tank. all was well for a day or two, then i woke up and now there are two left! what happened??
what am i doing wrong? i would lover to be sucessful with this as i love the severums. i don't know what to do next. i fed them baby brine shrimp.
any help or advice, would be very very appreciated.
thank you.

thank you guys for the feedback.......
it's really frustrating......i have one tiny microscopic little guy left but i have a feeling, it's not for long.
assuming, and hoping, that the parents will have another batch....what would you recommend to keep them living this time?
i would love to keep them alive. bigger tank? bigger filter?
thank you for your help.
