Well, second off, are you familiar with the names Gale Sayer, or Gale
Gordon? , but don't take this wrong it's not a problem assuming I'm a woman,
my mother apologizes non stop for naming me Gale - I got past that years
ago - was a bit rough in the younger years, though ( oh yeah - memories of
8 - 12 yrs old!!) - so how's that 12 inch carp :~)))))))))
Gale :~)

LOL.

Well first off, I am happy a woman made that joke and not a guy. And
secondly, I won't touch that one with a 12 inch Carp for fear of not being
able to stop.

no, it is his bumping that stimulates her muscles to contract and push the eggs out.
those eggs gotta be fertilized immediately or they die. sometimes a female GF is
picked up and the eggs will just pour out of her. so a male isnt always necessary.

hear of egg-bound females: they'd dump them if they could. The times that
mine have spawned, they were at it before I got up and/or noticed it. The
deed was done.

But are the eggs fertilized by the "old in and out" as Kubrick would say, or
are they fertilized in the water? BV

I can sure tell you weren't raised in or near salmon country, and/or any
places that has fish farms where they fertilize the eggs by hand at
hatcheries, showing it on the news. In fact, I think some koi breeders also
do it by hand. BV, you need to start watching more Discovery or Nature TV.

Now last year I did have a female oranda lose her eggs on her own. I put
her out in the lily pond and several days later there were unfertilized
eggs (milky white) in the pond, so some can manage on their own....

remembered that, if it wasn't for the name connection
