hI FOLKS. MY INSIDE KARAWAKE DECIDED TO SPAWN WITHOUT A MALE. THE KOI THAT I KNOW ARE MALES ARE OUTSIDE IN THE COLD 40 DEGREES. MY QUESTION IS THIS: CAN EGGS BE HELD ONTO FOR VERY LONG TO WAIT FOR A MALE TO FERTILIZE THEM? I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO HAVE HAD SOME LITTLE ONES FROM HER. MAY HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL LATER SPAWNING?
DUMB QUESTION I KNOW, BUT HAVE TO ASK IT.

Once I tried too hard to control things in the pond....the frogs left.
Hello, there is a small hole that is open in the egg when it is laid, and this opening is where the sperm must go in, and this hole will close within a minute or so, after that the eggs can not be fertilized! Jim

....and that kids is how you were born!
Nice and descriptive Jim! That's how to tell the kids about the birds and the bees...and the koi
Hey, I guess I could have been more descriptive!! But what calls my attention is why did she release eggs if she is alone??? Since egg release is prompted by the presence of a male stimulation! My question is, Was she alone , or alone with other FEMALES??? One of those FEMALES may have been a young male. JIm
Well.. she didn't have a male. Bless her heart, I've done the same thing! Thanks for all the info. It was real helpful. I had to get the eggs out of the tank fast, it was pretty loaded. The house smelled for two days. She goes in the pond this weekend! cuda
