But are the eggs fertilized by the "old in and out" as Kubrick would say, or
are they fertilized in the water? BV

I can sure tell you weren't raised in or near salmon country, and/or any
places that has fish farms where they fertilize the eggs by hand at
hatcheries, showing it on the news. In fact, I think some koi breeders also
do it by hand. BV, you need to start watching more Discovery or Nature TV.

Now last year I did have a female oranda lose her eggs on her own. I put
her out in the lily pond and several days later there were unfertilized
eggs (milky white) in the pond, so some can manage on their own....
