Default Getting rid of fish

They sure do. I had them in my koi ponds, and never had any fry. One cold
winter killed them off and finally I got koi fry. I've never had a problem
catching them though, just waited till they got big enough and slowly
worked at it. Many ended up in the filter, so those were real easy to
catch. Luckily, and thankfully, my koi don't spawn every year. ~ jan
