They don't all hatch the first time you wet the peat. In the wild, there could just be a slight rain just to wet the ground enough for the eggs to get wet and hatch, then dry up a few days later. So it wouldn't make sense if all the eggs hatched then there would be no fish to carry on and the species would go extinct within a few weeks, so nature has made them adapt to have only a portion hatch at first and then if you dry the peat and wait a few weeks and rewet it, the rest of the eggs should hatch and you might have to keep doing this till all the eggs have hatched. Does that make sense?
