If I find the eggs, is it wise too remove them? My pond is fairly
small and I would imagine they would probably all be eaten otherwise.

=========================================
I removed the eggs this year. They were stuck to several bunches of

parrots
feather. Few survive if left with the adult fish.

If you remove the eggs, they must be aerated in order for them to have a

change
at surviving.


## I did not aerate them. I dropped the parrots feather in 3 barrels and
one 150 gallon kiddy pool. They hatched in less than a week.

You can do this by using an airstone to run of gentle stream of
air bubbles over the eggs. Oh, and keep the temperature steady.


## You can't do that outside in large tubs or pools (zone 6).
