My egg strands did not hatch, and are getting moldy. They have been dormant for three weeks now, and the water is incredibly clear and hovering around 43 degrees. I am not very hopeful for a good spawning year for the perch in my pond :-(.
Sorry to hear that LS. I never thought about that possible impact. I guess the possible delay in the food chain doesn't matter if they never hatch. Hopefully, you will have some late spawners.
