Hi Julia,
It sounds like your eggs haven't been fertile. Have you posted pictures of your pair before? They may not be a match and that could be why your eggs aren't fertile. If you haven't you can post pictures of the 2 of them in the ID section.

If they are a matched pair we can go on from there to figure out what happening.
