walkeri

I dunked my first bag of peat collected from my walkeri about 3 months ago 
and was pleased to see fry the next day. I added micro worms and  checked 
them again this morning. Not one of the fry were swimming.....alll dead. No 
yolk sacks. Water was essentially the same as they were spawned in 185 
conductivity, pH 7.7. Peat was stored at ambient temperature, which is 74-78 
in my fishroom

This is my first experience with substrate spawners. I'm puzeled at the 
outcome. Any ideas?

PS The eleven noisy diaphragm air pumps that drove the filters and airstones 
in my ~60 tanks/jars/jugs were finally silenced last night when the JEHMCO 
linear piston pump went "on-line", finally. I was lucky to have my 
brother-in-law (engineer) for the holidays to help build the syatem. I used a 
1" PVC loop with manifold drops to the shelves and, in the loop, we used PVC 
electrical conduit elbows to reduce any noise. It is sooooooo quiet and I 
have air to spare. Definitely worth the investment.
