I decided this year to try breeding some subunkins in my berm ponds.
I got a half dozen of the regular shubunkins and have let them grow.
The pond also has one orange comet with a fine tail and a bunch of
mosquito fish. They seem to have grown well to 4-6 inches each. Does
anyone know how likely it is that they will breed this coming spring?
They are in a hyacinth pond, so the fry should have good hiding places
in the roots...although the mosquito fish will get a lot of them.

Also, any suggestions about encouraguing breeding? I am thinking they
will handle that themselves for the most part!

=======================Well grown Shubunkins we had here bred at a year old. The better
they're fed the faster they grow and the more eggs they lay.
