They are spawning. That's the fishy way of doing it.

My goldfish seem to be spawning, too, but not as vigorously as yours are! I think your heavy breathing is inspiring them.

Yeah, Those were koi. They tend to tear off scales and stuff doing that. There are even eggs 6" out of the water on the wooden posts at the sides. There are some goldfish in there too, but they are a lot more gentle with each other.....Darn pu$$ies!

Correction the eggs are 12" out of the water. This post is a foot high. As you can see, I have nothing better to do this morning.

You could have just done *edit* to add "wooden posts" instead of a whole copy of your post

So can you just rinse those eggs off the post back into the water to hatch or open or whatever the fish term is?

I would have had to be quick, and they are probably not fertilised. I used to put soft filter material in the pond for them to spawn on, then take it out when covered in eggs and put them in a hatching tank......But they will still have surviving young if I just leave them to it. They do better without my dumbass interference.

I don't have koi (way too cold up here without heaters and the like) but I know that my goldfish eat each egg and/or live baby that they make. I assume the ones the goldfish don't eat get eaten by the frogs. Survival of the fittest, I guess.

Good friends have a giant koi pond with a filter system that is several times larger than my 20x40 pool. She lost a few over this past winter, as this spring they had like a moss growing on them. Down to about 20 now.

Everybody around here lost fish of all types in manmade and natural ponds due to the weather. I lost all my fish. Large mouth, blue gill and sunfish. Frogs up the wazoo now.

From the sound of the cameraman, I thought they were eating liquid protein fish food.
