SPAWNING IN PROCESS. NEED HELP !!! Can't Post

Dear all,

My 63 cm shiro is now in a spawning process with 2 male sanke 50 cm. The ritual of chasing and pressing has been beginning since early morning around 4 am and until now (10 am) she hasn’t spawn yet. The belly is still big and round. The only different I can see is a development of a kind of 1 cm round brown meat at her “thing”. Don’t know if it’s the organ or a hardened eggs. Do you know what thing it is ? Actually how long does it take to have her spawn ?

Many thanks in advance.

Luckyl

It's 2 pm now and not yet laying eggs. The "Meat" is emerging bigger now, as big as a tumb. Look scary to me, but someone told me its OK. Males still chasing and pushing her. Just change 20% of water as the water smells odour. I'm worried about the amonia level cost it's been 5 mg/l.

SPAWNING FAILED !! PROBLEM ARISE [In reply to] Can't Post

Yesterday afternoon I saw her staying at the corner, looks very exhausted. The males too. One local breeder told me that she can not getting out the eggs as the “fat/meat” seems to block the way out. Last night I move back all the males to the pond, left her alone to get rest. I got no idea how to deal with her condition now. I’m worried whether the fat/meat will also block the other organ systems such as the waste or the urine. Don’t know how to get rid this fat/meat. This morning it look more pale than yesterday which is dark red/brownish. Did anybody experience this kind of thing before ?

Cheers,

Hi luckyl,

I really hope you can get some good answer soon. I don't have experience in spawning koi so I cannot really help. Some breeder (Oomosako) said his first parent pair would sometimes take 2 months before it finally spawn. Don't know whether that is the case here. Maybe, giving her some time to rest, like what you are doing is a good idea.

Probably need to maintain some salt too incase of infection from bruises and nitrite. All the best.

cheers..

Re: [GCSpyder] SPAWNING FAILED !! PROBLEM ARISE [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi GCSpyder,
Its really a very stressful experience to me. After watching the raising of amonia level in the spawning tank, I decided to move back the female to my main pond. Do it so carefully that I couldn't dare to touch the fat/meat. Several minutes afterward, I watch parts of the fat/meat broke down. Eager to know, I need them up and guess what ??? It's not the meat/fat, it the mixtures of EGGS, FAT, and BLOOD BOND together. Maybe that's exactly what my local breeder told me. My Shiro is too fat to spawn, too fat that her eggs are bond together with her fat. I should have vast her for 2 weeks at least. And he told me that I should really look for some very HORNY MALE that the whole body was really rough to help her spawn. I was also told to be watch out tonight as there maybe another spawning in my main pond due to the unfinished spawning. I should watch out tonight then.

Cheers,

luckyl...

I was pondering about one thing.....Couldn't you technically still fertilize the eggs in the dead Shiro Utsuri?
Manually I mean....extract he eggs and squirt milt on them...I may be wrong, that's why I'm pondering.....Crazy

dear lucky
sorry about your loss.
I'm wondering where the other fry come from as the female died?
See this is why you need a good diet and a deep pond stops them getting to fat. oh yes and it's called a vent the fish bum. i'm thinking the egg bound thingy maybe you female died of internal damage trying to force out her eggs. Please don't try the manual thingy it's a bad idea
