Depends
Are they in a tank or in a pond?
In my experience you must remove them ASAP, ie as soon as they stop

spawning
& before they get a chance to eat all their produce.
My Fantails & Shebunkins spawned in October & there must have been

hundreds
if not thousands of eggs.
I removed the pot plants that they spawned in to another area & now have

so
many I have NO idea what I will do with them when they reach a reasonable
size.
I also note that some fish grow faster than others...the shebunkins have

got
quite large, quite fast, but the fantails seem to take longer to grow, &
some are a lot bigger than the others.

Good luck

Pat

after eggs have been spawned.
