Why are they all dying?

my angel fish layed eggs and everything was going great the babies started swimming on ther own in the grow out tank at about a week old. i feed them the baby brine shrimp and did water changes all of the time(once a day) so that the water didnt get to dirty…Then last night it was really hot and the tank temp went up to 90 degrees(it was usually 78-80) and this morning there were only 4 left and they look pretty bad. is it the weather that killed them wrong and what can i do to have more babies live longer next time??
also i have the parents tank with gravel and plants and stuff…if i took that out and lets the adults raise them would i get a better turn out and then move them into the grow out tank at about 4 weeks(when they start to look like little angels)

Sea-Monkeys: How long until I see them?

Hi all! I got myself a Sea-Monkey Kit and I have followed the limited directions in the kit and I am wondering how long after I add the "Egg Packet" to the tank that I will see babies.

I am keeping the tank temp at 80′ (I have a temp strip in the tank) and I thought I would be able to see SOMETHING in a few hours but I can’t see anything but ‘dust’ in the water.

Any ideas?
