Your clear pondwater of 6ft -8ft with reduced turbidity and rocky habitat are two of the key items that allowed the eggs to fully develop to hatching. Optimum rock spacing and crevice sizes are also important for egg protection and to reduce predation of the developing eggs and early yolk fry. Lots of critters like to eat scattered and unprotected fish eggs.
