Still no Parent raisers

I had a black lace and black lace ghost pair spawn day before yesterday, A platinum pair spawned yesterday, and a Blue Zebra and a Paraiba pair also spawned yesterday.  Today all the eggs are gone.  I had hopes for the blacks, they looked like they were taking pretty good care of them.  The platinums are a really old pair, I think this is their 30th spawn. Still eat them like everybody else.  I don't know what I would do if a pair ever decided to raise a batch.  I only have room to pull like every fourth or fifth spawn so they all have plenty of chances.

I'm not afraid of work.  I can lay down right next to it and go to sleep.

I only pull the eggs when there is no choice.  All my Angel pairs are parent raisers.  I don't know if there's a trick to it that I'm doing and don't understand, but if they don't raise their own kids, I send them packing.
Always move forward. Never look back.

None of them ever parent raise for me. Mostly they eat the eggs after about 48 hours.  I know it is something I am doing wrong but not sure what.  I have TERRIBLE water and that might have something to do with it. I think I would have a heart attack if a pair raised a batch.
