I'm wondering if mine is too cold (77 F) and might be causing a lot of my problems with low hatchrates and early die off. Thanks

Running at a cooler temp will slow the development of the eggs. http://www.fishtalpropagations.com/#!home/mainPage "Making captive breeding easier."

Sometimes I will spike up to 85F to try to induce spawning. Don't let fear and common sense stop you! =]
