Regular Member edjeff80 Posted November 5, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted November 5, 2003 Kind of a shocker for me yesterday, went in to feed me ryukins yesterday morning...nothing unusual they were all swimming about. I went back in the room around 2p.m or so and saw that there were eggs in my tank!! Most of them I assume had been eaten because there were only a handful left sticking to the plants. I don't know which one did it either!! I haven't had them more than a year yet. I'm not sure what has caused this and I know that there hasn't been a change in diet or water temperature. Anyone else have any ideas?? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Ranchugirl Posted November 6, 2003 Regular Member Share Posted November 6, 2003 Well, there are all kind of things that can induce egg laying - most common one is change in water temperature, or a low pressure system going by, although pond fish would notice the effect much easier, I suspect. Maybe a change in diet to a more high protein food, or a new female fish you might have bought gets the males moving..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
