Eeepp Please help, after nearly eight years of dealing with goldfish and prob over five years of owning pond goldifsh hardly a year with my two koi and four kablunken gold fish I went to clean out my hundred gallon and my 50-80 give or take a gallon ponds when I spoted eggs EVERYWHERE out of all the fish I've noticed moving around much it's my two koi.. can someone please share with me the needed information on dealing with this and any possible pictures? I had thought them frog eggs at first but I've had baby frogs before never eggs and never so many all over the place. I was once told spawning fish jumped and splashed fighting of sorts while spawning and I've not noticed any of this just a whole lotta chasing around like every other day of every year.. I was soo thrilled now I just have no clue what to do *chuckles* so all help is VERY appreciated.. IAmong the info I'd like is how long do the fish spawn, How long do the egg stage last How long before they start really showing up to the eye etc etc um also how do these guys spawn? I know regular fish ( tank fish ) do live birth, where gold fish lay eggs but do they well breed then lay eggs? or lay the eggs and then the fellow goes by to grace them so to speak? Thanks for all your help.. this is my very first time with any sort of none live birth fish breeedings and um wil;l I need to put anything into the pond to help shield the fish from the hungry adults? Right now the eggs appear clear and sticky as all get out .. so I'm assuming they're probley just laid.. so thanks for any info you guys can give me :) my email is ke4hmr@ix.netcom.com should anyone want to privately reach me.. :) thanks again!!!
