Funny things happening with my incubating A. australe eggs

[Misajegar at aol_com]

After an initial successful harvest of eggs from a couple of pairs of Aphy. 
australe orange, some really odd things have been happening during the 
incubation.  I'd welcome any comments from those on the list-

1)  some of the eggs have eyed-up nicely, then a "partial" hatch seems to 
happen,
     i.e.  tails appear poking through the "shell" with the rest of the 
embryo/fry still 
     inside.

2)  some of the eggs begin to show some embryonic growth, then the egg swells 
to 
     too 2-3x the size of the other eggs.

3)  all the eggs made it 3-plus days, then some began to fungus.  I'd been 
under the
     impression that if they're going to fungus, they usually do so within 
the first 1-2
     days.

Needless to say, what I thought was going to be a 10-15 fry harvest, if I'm 
lucky I'll get 3-5 instead (one fry is hatched and free swimming).

Any and all thoughts are welcome!!!!!
