If I find the eggs, is it wise too remove them? My pond is fairly
small and I would imagine they would probably all be eaten otherwise.
=========================================
I removed the eggs this year. They were stuck to several bunches of parrots
feather. Few survive if left with the adult fish.

If you remove the eggs, they must be aerated in order for them to have a change
at surviving. You can do this by using an airstone to run of gentle stream of
air bubbles over the eggs. Oh, and keep the temperature steady.

## I did not aerate them. I dropped the parrots feather in 3 barrels and
one 150 gallon kiddy pool. They hatched in less than a week.

## You can't do that outside in large tubs or pools (zone 6).

No, but you can do it indoors, in a small aquarium set up as an incubator.

I have hundreds, perhaps a thousand fry. I just bought two more 150 gallon
kiddy pools for behind the house to raise them in. Now I need to get some
more small powerheads to make filters. I never expected this many fry....
They came through this last cold snap just fine.
