Why have all my baby Angel Fish fry died?

I have a large tank of Angel Fish and noticed two of them pairing off, so I took all the others out and put them into another spare tank.

The Angels bred in a black slate, some eggs went white, most of them were transparent .

I took out the slate and put it into a small tank for hatching. I set up an air stone beside the slate as advised online, the eggs hatched, fry became free swimming, I fed them very small amounts of liquid fry and baby brine shrimp in a yellow paste I bought especially for them.

Changed a third of the water after 2 days of hatching.

After 4 days of hatching, I had about 3 left which I couldn't manage to keep alive.

Water temp 26 degrees.

Canister filter in growing tank.

The growing tank was cleanse thoroughly before the fry went in, no detergents.
