Hi
I have had 2 couples laying eggs in my breeding tanks, one on the 23rd of March and the other on the 24th. The first batch has all turned white again. Still this is a pair that has had fry when they were at the former owner's. They lay eggs about every 7-14 days, but each time the eggs turn white and get fungused. I can still see some eggs now that are brownish but it is only a few eggs. Normally they would have to be wrigglers now, at least I think so.
The other eggs, laid on the 24th in the afternoon are like this now: http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/jj88/renestas/Legselvan24maart2009011.jpg
I don't understand what I am doing wrong. The first couple has laid eggs 5 times now, and always the same result. I put Mycopur by Sera in the water every time I have eggs, so they wouldn't get fungused.
My water has the following parameters: Temp. 28°C, PH 7, KH 2, GH 4, µS 120, Nitrites 0. I do a WC of 10-20% every day. My fish get all kinds of frozen foods + vitamins. I have my tanks set up like this:

Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong.
