How do I know those Koi eggs has been fertilized?
Hopefully this will not make any of you jealouse, it is in S. Cal and
it is 90 degrees, On Super Tuesday 3/9, I found millions of Koi eggs attached to the string algea in the pond. very exciting. There comes the question: how do I know those eggs are fertilized or not? a few days ago I did notice two male (I suppose) was chasing the famale (I know for sure) Koi . I already moved the string algea (with eggs) to a seperate tank |

Don't worry. If the males are chasing the female, the eggs are fertile or
both males are sterile. Likelihood of that: zero. Watch to see if they develop. You may have a fungus problem in your other tank.

If you don't recognize spawning behavior you may notice little bitsy goldfish among the ones you remember from last year. Almost as certain as death and taxes. Regards, Hal |

Unfertilized eggs will be milky white, fertilized ones clear amber.
Isn't methylene blue suppose to keep fungus off the eggs? ~ jan See my ponds and filter design: http://users.owt.com/jjspond/ ~Keep 'em Wet!~ Tri-Cities WA Zone 7a To e-mail see website |

Thanks all for the info, the GOOD NEW, I already see ten of thousands
of tiny koi now!!! I put then to my veggie filter (about 400 gallons) (There are a wall of string algea & plans between between the veggie filter & pond to prevent the koi babies from getting into the pond) I will have a lot of Koi to give out in a few month. better take a number now. ~ jan JJsPond.us wrote in message . ..
