when they noticed that the fish got bizz-eee! Fish eggs everywhere! I think this is the largest spawning event I've ever had in this pond. The older koi normally spawn every year but I rarely notice the eggs. I guess there are more sexually mature fish in the pond this year because you can't NOT notice the eggs this year. They're everywhere. All my plants, on the walls, on my power cords, on my planter baskets, everywhere !

Thats crazy cool!!!! Are you putting love potion in there or something??? Thats a lot of..stuff..

They have been a lot more "active" the last few days. I didn't think much off it until today :lol: Wonder how many of those MILLIONS of eggs will actually fertilize and hatch. Every year we have a few but this year we are probably going to have an explosion (no pun intended). We harvested a bunch to put in a tank nursery for fun.

Very cool!!! That's a huge spawn. Such a beautiful pond you have any updated "fps" (full pond shots). Never get tired of looking at your pics. Best of luck with the eggs you pulled!

Mmmmmmm, koi caviar!

Kien's Kaviar - $20/can.

OMG that's brilliant ! Guess what I'll be serving at my next BBQ ??

Remind me to be busy that day!

Ummm....better serve that with a liberal dose of Ketchup
