spawning and pond foam ?s
hey all
am new to the pond game. filter's been cycling for 28 days now. added 3 comets a day after spiking the filter (bioforce 1000 with a supreme 950 pump) with "ooze" from one of my fresh water tanks. added 2 more comets 2 weeks ago. all is rockin' along fine 'til today. found one of the comets going belly up. brought a jar of water to my friend's fish store and all tests are fine. the fish appeared to be "fat" and there are very small pockets of foam amongst the plants. not being that familiar with goldfishes' mating habits, could the mortality be a result of a female's birthing cylce? i have read that the male "beats" the eggs out of the femamle. the fish were about 4" when purchased, so maybe they're old enough to spawn. thanks to all who contribute to this group, have learned *lots* reading through it. positive vibes, rasta http://rynholland.tripod.com/ http://rynholland.tripod.com/pond/id2.html http://rynholland.tripod.com/pond/id1.html |
