Perpin Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Hi there I recently bought myself an oranda pair. I noticed that my male has developed the white breeding spots over the last 3 days. Is there a general time span from the time they develop the spots to actually spawning? I have googled this but the info out there is very generalised. Any recommended reading? Thanks heaps. Michelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 the spawn would depend on when the female is ready to go. i think the males just like in most species :lol: are always ready to go. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenix44 Posted February 4, 2009 Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 you will know when all the gold fish in the tank are chasing the living daylights out of her and banging her against any thing and everything. thats when she is laying v small eggs that coincidently get eaten immediately.

Perpin Posted February 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2009 I only have the one pair in the tank together, the others are in another tank as they are still too young. I haven't noticed any hectic chasing yet. Do you have oranda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
