I'm optimizing a tetra-ARMS PCR protocol with amplicon sizes: 165bp, 123bp and 93bp. Why, in the gel, only 165bp is visible while I'm expecting all 3?

It's an end-point PCR protocol. I'm using 1.5% agarose gel with SyBR Safe dye and TBE as a running buffer, visualization on BioRad XR+ system. I was primarily thinking of primer efficiency,...
