Thanks a lot! Your reply is quite informative. I will try as you suggested next time.
My hatching box has small grid at base of it, not so obviously in the photo, so the water can exchange.
Do you have any photo of your artificial hatching equipment?
They are about one and half years old. I fed them grindal worm for the most of the time. I have successfully artificial hatched for one time, only 8 fry have survived and grown up.
My pair of A.Breitbinden has failed of hatching eggs for many times. So I decided to artificial hatch by myself.
I isolated the shell of coconut in the case and the water can exchange inside and outside. (pic1)
The first day, all the eggs were normal, none of them became white egg...

I had been about 36 hours without feeding them because of my job. When I came back home, I found only 10+ fry left. I fed them immediately. Their bellies became full and yellow, and they...
