I would use a relatively cheap set up like this!
Have you tried moistening the spawning stand by spraying water on it? We had the same problem in the laboratory, it's probably due to the fact that the eggs themselves lose their moisture, we tried this trick and it worked
Yes an Atomizer (Sensing with hygrostat) would be useful to solve this problem
@Rabia Ali
Do you use plants as a support for spawning? or do you use muslin or other media?
