ok did some reading up on it and i cant remove the eggs with out damaging them so for a tempory fix i put a towle over them and in the morning illl go to the store and get some stuff to make a barrier to keep the fish from geting the eggs
smart. I built a box out of PVC and some fittings and then put the netting around it. It just floats. What will you feed your babies once they hatch?
i have some koi fri food and brine shrimp im reading up on what otheres have done for food to see what works and what dosent. also i started my 100 gal stock tank back up as soon as i found the eggs so i can put them in there when they hatch
Once the eggs start hatching, you need to have your hatcheries going 24/7 for the brine shrimp. I use 4 of them and harvest 2 every other day. It takes 48 hours to get the highest yield from the brine shrimp eggs.
You will spend a lot of time when they hatch, seperating the fry from the eggs that do not hatch and all the other matter the eggs were attached to when you removed them from the pond.

whats the best way to set up the brine shrimp
some photos i took i thought they were just trying to swim up the water fall part but it was them geting it on. the water fall fillter was just a temp set up so i moved it over so it wasnt running ontop of the eggs
eggs there are tons of them
put the towls over them to keep a barricade intell i could get soem netting to seperate from the koi
look look at them

You can Google the source for bulk eggs. It will take up to 2 weeks to get them. In the meantime you can get smaller packets at the fish store, but they are pricey.
The hatcheries are also available on the Internet if your LFS doesn't have them.
Follow the instructions and make sure you have a brineshrimp net for the rinsing.

im no koi egg expert but i think the eggs are all bad they all have a green fuzz around them all exsept one that acually looks like it has something in it but it could just be something ells ill post a pic when i get it uploaded in cupple min
If they have fuzz on them, they are dead. When the spawn occurs, an application of Methylyne Blue will improve the yield. Use 1/2 the recommended dosage.
