is this good as a temporary housing for my fish?

in my other tank my albino channel cat started wreaking havok on it's tankmates out of nowhere!the tank mates i saved are: 1 black skirt tetra, a small blue gourami, a 1 inch paradise fish, a 1 inch cory, and a 1 1/2 inch pink kisser.
i had groups of tetras and cories, but now only have one of each.
i had a 10 gallon running with feeder fish for my larger cats but i only had a few left so i stuck them in a 2 1/2 gallon tank with a whisper 2-5 micro filter.
i put the surving tank mates in the 10G thats been running for 6 months now and started getting low readings of ammonia and i'm guessing it's because i took a tank that had 3 rosey reds and dumped the other fish in there and these fish produce a much higher bio-load than the 3 minnows so the bio filter in the aquarium is being over loaded.
the channel cat is only 5 1/2 inches long and this is the first problem i ever had with him turning his other tankmates into fish meal he doesnt eat the feeder fish he just makes fish meal out of them!
