Bang,
Is this the first spawn for this pair? If so I wouldn't be too upset about it. My pair spawnded twice a months for about 5-6 months and then gave up. You'll be back in the saddle in no time.
I am not alone when I say many were very interested in what was happening with your eggs. I find your articles very interesting.
My father always said it is perfectly fine to make mistakes as long as you do not repeat them.
Best wishes
