My caucatoides just ha a spawn of about 100 or so eggs- Yahoo! However, most of the eggs fungussed up over a couple of days. I have never had trouble with this before- The conductivity of the tank is about 60 micro-siemens with a pH of 6.4. 20% water changes once per week. This is the first time they have had this many young- also the first time I have lowered the conductivity this low (I used peat aged tap-water cut with 50% rain water (very clean from the wet-coast). Does anyone have any thought on why I might have lost the eggs- seems strange to me!
