My fish have spawned numerous times, and without me even playing
romantic
music near the pond.

I'm assuming then that a pond is a better enviroment for mating than an
indoor tank. ;-)

I am by no means a breeding expert. In fact the pond spawns were the result
of nothing more then healthy water. I can take credit for the environment
being nice, but other then that I did nothing to encourage it. In my
aquariums, I have never seen the result of a spawning, but that may be due
to a lack of safe eff laying spaces and predators. In the pond, there is
plenty of space to spawn.

We have had numerous minnow spawnings. We had a few hundred in there at one
time, but the frogs and my mother in law, culled them for me. The Koi and
Goldies have also spawned a few times. In fact this year, I'll need to give
some away no doubt.

Anyone in MD need Koi, Goldies or Koinkeys?
