[Killietalk] Problem hatching brine shrimp eggs

[Rivulus1 at cs_com]

Up until a few weeks ago , I was always getting great hatches and the eggs 
were seperating well in the water in the hatching jar. Suddenly , the hatch rate 
went to near zero and the eggs no longer sink or float at harvest time , but 
rather stay suspended in the water. Nothing was changed - same water source , 
same salt , same temperature. I even tried 2 additional cans of eggs , all 
premium grade , never opened. No luck. Various salinities and salts (non-iodized 
, marine) , pH levels , and water sources (tap , RO) have been tried with the 
same results. 

Any ideas on why this is happening? Suggestions? Seems a bit hard to believe 
that top quality eggs from 3 different sources would all be bad at the same 
time , especially those that were hatching fine previously.
