Hi

There are some strange goings on in my pond. The pond is only six weeks old and I have 4 goldfish and 2 shubunkins. Fish a is chasing fish b and shimying down its side......looks a lot like they are spawning, ( blush) but surely its the wrong time of the year? Is fish breeding seasonal or do they wait for the water conditions to be right?

Thanks for any info.

Goldfish are very promiscuous. They will spawn anytime, anywhere and
with anybody close to their species. "Just when you thought it was
safe to go near the water" ;-}
