spawning

HI,

I have a question.

How do the koi behave prior to spawning?

I haven't experienced spawning yet, fish were too young or too small before this year.

they were behaving a little strange yesterday, all swimming around really closely quite fast all in the same direction for little spurts.

thought maybe this was the start.

Several guys chase the female "game" close to her belly pushing her around and she trying to get "rid" of them.

A water change, higher temperature over 19 C etc. can start the show usually early morning and it can go for hours.
Put spawning brushes at ground levels at the edge of the pond so the eggs can attach to something you can take out after spawning.

Hi,

it was like a mass chase looked like nearly all of them were getting involved.

I have put the spawning brush in across the surface, but away from the wall as didn't want them to bang into that.

cleaned the filter and topped the pond up on the weekend, temperature is between 21 and 22. nice being an indoor pond, that temp and its not heated.

not interested in growing any at the moment, just want them to empty the eggs out safely.

thanks

Vannbytte i forkant setter fart i dem. I innedammen her hos finner jeg egg langt opp på veggene etter den årlige mer eller mindre kontrolerte leken på senhøsten. Lukt og uklar dam vil du få i etterkant...så lykke til

Jeg har lest et sted at man kan bruke granbar om en ikke har rugenett. Men vil ikke dette stikke fiskene ? Granbar er jo veldig spisst.

Jeg har 3 fisker og 2 av dem dilter etter den største hele tiden.
Er det fordi den er størst og sjef i flokken eller er det fordi det kan være en hunne ?

Aldri funnet et egg på disse årene, men de kan jo ha spist dem opp etterhvert.
