anyone got any clues on this.
i had some massive breeding occur after a long hiatus in my usually very productive peppermint bn tank. i collected 127 eggs from 2 batches, one was 103, mustv'e been some kind of record. all of them hatched, 125 of them died with no trace, my water is perfect, very high flow rate, temp around 29degrees, bigger than necessary sump, high turnover, high aeration, ph constant 6.8, kh low but stable, gh 3-4. i'm thinking maybe the high water flow damaged them or something, but it did not affect the lf bn that were raised in the same manner. the mesh keeper net i used to tumble them is possibly overstocked but like i said there is a high water flow thru it.
