Title: Fish question
Post by: AlanP on November 02, 2015, 20:57:07
I have been watching the goldfish in my pond (as you do ) and they seem to be trying to spawn, one has quite a swollen body around it's vent and a couple of the other fish are chasing and nudging it, but surely this is the wrong time of the year.  Any thoughts peeps.

The plot holder four plots away from mine is a keen coarse fisherman. He once told me carp spawn in late May and June, with some minor variation caused by temperatures.

Goldfish are members of the carp family, so spawning at this time of year is probably about right.
