Guest Orandaman Posted April 18, 2004 Hi Everyone, Here is a video clip of Hans and Hilda dancing . This is not yet rated. I hope it's not rated XXX. For those who have never witness goldfish spawning it's quite intriguing. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Athena 0 Posted April 18, 2004 That was cool! I didn't know that was the behaviour when they're spawning. I just thought that my male did that to be annoying to the 2 girls! LOL 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ed586 Posted April 18, 2004 Yes, that's behaviour is what I've seen too. The male stimulates the female to lay her eggs by bumping her. Then he sprays his milt over them to fertilize. It only makes sense when you think about it. Thanks Orandaman! 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Flipper Posted April 19, 2004 Not so great to watch after 10 of them have ganged up on the moma and almost killed her though (. Lost one of mine in the breeding ritual. She wedged herself between some rocks and the water level dropped when the pumped got clogged and she found herself out of water. Very sad. The other moma they make a mess of as well. I sometimes catch her and put her with the kois for a break. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Orandaman Posted May 23, 2004 For those that are having trouble with the video, perhaps you need to download and install the latest version of Windows Media Player. Click here to download. It's free for all operating system; XP, 2000, ME, NT, 98, 95, Mac OS X, 9, 8, etc. Or, find it at Microsoft download center at www.microsoft.com. Hans and Hilda spawining. Be patient. For some, it may take a few minutes. Depending on the speed of your connection. For those who have never witness it, will find it quite intreguing. The chasing action is more of a contant nudging from behind by the male. It's not like a territorial, chasing away an intruder kind of a thing. It's hard to describe. You'll have to see it for yourselves. There is no agression. Although they may make quite a stir, splashing at the surface and all. That's why all sharp object and ornaments should be removed from the tank during this time. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
