We discovered fish eggs in our pond twice in two weeks. I have only seen
one of the sarasas being chased and bothered, ever, and not really all that
much. Can a fish lay eggs with this frequency, or do I have more than one
female in my pond?

The first batch did produce some fry, but I fear they were eaten in short
order since I never saw a trace of them after the initial sighting. This
second batch turned into 15-year old son's summer project: he took the eggs
out and put them in a separate tank. We have counted 20 fry, but even after
researching their care, we really have no clear idea of what exactly we are
doing. Hoping at least one survives.

I had a trio in a tank that went through the motions about every four
to five days, from November to May, when I got tired of it and put
them into the pond. they were shooting blanks toward the end, no fry,
but I had enough from the first few spawnings anyway.
