I may be on to something. I just pulled all my notes for the past year of spawning. When the parents are on a 14 day cycle (8 day hatch, 6 days later laying) the hatch/survival numbers are great.

The past 6 cycles have gone like this (in the form of days tohatch/days later laying):
8/3
8/6
8/4
8/3
8/3
8/3

So the past 3 cycles, or the ones that have given me fits, they only waited 3 days between hatching and laying. Maybe this is caused poor egg quality? Why are they even doing this?
