Fisho get nervous during spawning, and sometimes they jump out of the pond.
So we cover the ponds not to let fish out. |

|
|
At the moment of spawning, female fish and male fish swim close together
rubbing onto each other. |
|
Eggs stick onto artificial "weeds" like this, it takes about
4 days for the eggs to hatch at this time of the year. |
