[addy1]

I caught this on my DVR this am.................that poor girl! I had to film it with my phone, couldn't get the file to back up.

She dropped her eggs and the clean up crew came through

Poor Lady Fish!

I wonder why Nature didn't choose a less violent approach when it designed the mating rituals of some species

Goldfish caviar!

One reason I quit feeding. They get a bit as winter ends then on their own. They inhale the eggs.

now I know what was going on in my pond last week.....

 

[MajorDan]

I hope mine are to small to be amorous, I am not ready for the spawn yet.

I really need to get to the hardware store to buy some cotton mop heads, which I plan to float in the pond in an effort to mechanically removed eggs! I thought I had more time.........but I see I best not waste any time !!

I hope mine are to small to be amorous, I am not ready for the spawn yet.

It will happen..................eventually.

I don't encourage survival, the fish get no food from me, so they inhale the eggs. Some fry survive, but so far still have a lot of water room.
