The hardest part is I wish I knew what I had done wrong so that I can prevent this from happening in the future

The only thing I can think of is that I should have only hibernated them for a shorter period (maybe 3 - 6 weeks), but I was trying to be 'smart' and wanted to sync them up to our natural rainfall patterns and I was prolonging bringing them out of hibernation until then.

I am going to collect some WC ones later in this year and try to have 8 split up in two separate tanks and then when I try it again I will have a 'control'... its the best thing I can think of.

But hopefully my misfortune can be a stepping stone for the rest of you guys.
