I'm wondering if my goldies will spawn. The water never got really

Dead goldfish may not spawn. If they are alive expect to see
spawning behavior. If you don't recognize spawning behavior you may
notice little bitsy goldfish among the ones you remember from last
year. Almost as certain as death and taxes.

They're quite alive. They've spawned before, I've raised a bunch of
young. I expected them to spawn when it got warm, it really never got
all that cool. Not like I need more fish anyway.

Thanks all for the info, the GOOD NEW, I already see ten of thousands
of tiny koi now!!! I put then to my veggie filter (about 400 gallons)
(There are a wall of string algea & plans between between the veggie
filter & pond to prevent the koi babies from getting into the pond)
I will have a lot of Koi to give out in a few month. better take a
number now.

Unfertilized eggs will be milky white, fertilized ones clear amber.

Isn't methylene blue suppose to keep fungus off the eggs? ~ jan
