Channa:

This sounds like a soil bacteria problem to me. Fruit rot like this can also be caused by a fungas.

Did you give them a good fertilizing about every 15 days?

I belive that you will have to have a good soil treatment and rotate the area you plant in.

Disappointing as it is I know how you feel.

Best wishes.
