HELP NEEDED: Koi eggs found on filter wool

ahpek_lion · 10-01-2010, 05:14 PM

Hi fellow buddies

I just took my filter out to wash and discovered there were koi eggs on the wool of the filter.

How do i know if the eggs has not spoilt and how should i take care of the eggs

I dun think there are mani eggs left....probably eaten up or something. The eggs are opaque in colour ... Not sure when it was laid

Here are some pictures:

** Btw my kois are only abt 15cm ... not sure how old ... will its length affect the hatch rate of the eggs? I got my kois at nkf ... so far it has been with me for abt 7mths

How to see if the eggs fertile? is there any colour or smth? I only know the fish tank water got one kind of weird smell

I jus checked out on the eggs... i took 1 egg out of the water and shone a torchlight into it ...I saw some black dot in the middle of the egg

Bro...not sure whether you should focus on the egg or the tank.
Usually after spawning, the ammonia level will be very high, that explain the smell.

Better if you can change water substantially, otherwise the koi inside mayhave problem.

And Bro Sgbetta is right....you must have gotten some mature mini koi, that explained the spawning.
