Last year when I did my fall pond clean up I found a single juvinale goldfish that I hadn't put in there. I had 3 fancy goldfish and a single butterfly koi (it was a rescue) and somehow this group produced a hybrid. The juvinale had the body of a fancy(short and stocky) and the long flowing fins of the koi. I didn't know known fancy and koi could breed together. Just a random story I thought I'd share, good day everyone.

the natural breeding is best, fair play to you mate

[@darrendempsey3190]

Those are beautiful Koi and goldfish! I agree “milking” is cruel why not let them breed naturally...oh yeah I forgot about the greed factor! 😏

[@PaulsKoipond]

forget how small these fry are, my koi fry are getting bigger thanks to your videos

[@vajiraoshadi303]

Wowww.... very colorful fish 🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠🐠❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KyIieMinogue]

I’ve recently fallen in love with goldfish. This video is so cool I can’t wait to see the progress of these lil guys

[@chefrarestones1960]

As always you are a master at showing us lil bits of nature and how it works and it’s just lovely how you do it!!! Thanks 😊✨💫⭐️

[@MHAquaticsUK]

Great video (as always)! Keep them coming Mark!

[@richardsterne2875]

Well done Mark again you are a star. I am over run with white cloud mountain minnows, they wont stop breeding!

[@alanvoong7478]

Hi Mark, understand that this may be cruel to hand spawn but sometimes it is necessary. My goldfish can get a bit aggressive when spawning so I have to hand extract the eggs. last time my female goldfish gets flesh wounds when they bred. Hand spawning does not require a lot of pressure if the fish are ready to spawn if anyone actually attempts it. But I too much prefer the use of spawning mops I get a higher success rate. keep up the good work can't wait for more videos.

[@richardsjokvist5317]

Thank you for the tip on how you get them used to eating dried food. Been having problems with that when i breed angels. Cheers from Sweden!

[@ianspicer3885]

Very interesting I will try this I'll have to re-watch the brine shrimp video 👍👍👍👍

[@salvolondon]

I have a big 3 years old female blackmoor , I have zero intention to breed her but I enjoy watching videos of goldfish breeding . It’s a beautiful thing to do if one has the space and the time .

[@mariaz9538]

Great video as always. Thanks for sharing. I'm using your method right now to raise CPD's. It's working great! Thanks again 👍❤️

[@crisbrown9074]

Thanks for a very informative video just what I needed as a leyman thanks for sharing

[@alankingwell]

Great video Mark 👍👍

[@kennethhannum490]

I was just looking this up the other day now mark coming through

[@shaker7804]

amazing and good presentation Mark.

[@professorm4171]

I leave a mop in my pond and get a few babies survive every year. They have plenty of plant cover.

[@garygranato9164]

completely agree with your feelings on manually extracting egg & milk mark

[@richardwaldhouse8067]

Thank you Mark!

[@ianwilkinson9594]

Looking good mate 👍

[@fishndchick2228]

Fantastic stuff!

[@carriann5738]

Yes we got the big green brushes dear but they are brilliant as well as wool just like your mops

[@carriann5738]

My father as a pond and I do as well as shrimp tanks but wow we are over run with koi and gold fish eggs as well as week old baby koi and gold fish

[@carriann5738]

Yes mine is just like yours 🙌🏽 we use banana worms to the micro worms still to big for them

[@rajiv9819]

Hi Mark learnt a lot from your videos. I have a query do you ever put any antifungal in water/fish tank which houses the egg laid. What can we use as antifungal to prevent eggs or should we use snails for them to do the job of cleaning up unfertilised eggs.

[@PULAG]

Very cool outdoor pond. What are the temps year round for that water? I wanted to start one outside for mine as well. Thanks!

[@Bongholio-fd5eq]

Is there anything you can't breed lol love your vids mate , you explain everything. I'm about to watch your galaxy rasbora breeding series again. 1 thing I've watched your vid on how to raise infursoia, I've tried half a dozen times and I just can't seem to get any

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Use boiled brocoli. Tank water and a bit of moss.

[@kilnimusic]

Always a delight with a video from you. Can I ask about the skinny dwarf puffer, did it make it? I love to sit and watch mine, and then remember your little one.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Sadly she didn't make it 😔

[@kilnimusic]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Thank you, at least, she had a chance in your care.

[@jamesmitcham3889]

even tho ur an old-timer ur very good at fish breeding for ur age mate

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

With age comes experience and knowledge.

[@K99749]

Hey Mark. Thanks for the video. Is there a certain time of year to do this or can you try all year round?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

You can only breed them in the summer. They go dormant in the winter. 😀👍

[@K99749]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Thanks!

[@andystokes8702]

If you are running a commercial hatchery where big numbers of fry is the bottom line then I'm sure it makes sense to hand strip the fish to minimise losses but for the average aquarist who's looking to just raise a few or even a couple of hundred it's far better for the fish to go the natural route as you have done. Apart from anything else it's great to watch the parents spawning, something you miss out on by stripping.

[@andreasventer4267]

Pls do apistogramma next or otocinlus

[@joystickjonjo]

Going to the effort of getting another tank can’t I just stick the mop in there and leave it in with my normal fish? Not exactly trying to mate them but it would be nice to see.

[@Mariemaymoore]

Do u have to get a filter especially for fry? Cos they might get sucked in

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Yes you must use sponge filters.

[@Dawnmorning668]

Hi Mark, Could you do a video on why goldfish loose their eyes and what causes this please. Thank you

[@shuggiemcg1]

Fantastic going to give this a go have you got a link to the brine shrimp eggs please Mark

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

No sorry. I just get them off ebay.

[@joystickjonjo]

Btw what exactly are you doing with all these when they are all grown? Selling em?

[@Eparsonage]

First :)

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Man you fast! 😀👍

[@Eparsonage]

@@MARKSAQUATICS Always keen to see your new content mate :)

[@Mariemaymoore]

Do u have to put a filter in with the eggs and fry?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

If you have a sponge filter that is completely cycled put it in. Or cycle one before breeding ok.

[@Shaden0040]

You should check out a video by Ohio Fish REscue where they were holding some giant koi for Shaquile O'Neil and they spawned of half a million eggs from 12 fish and these koi were huge! All of the koi are butterfly/dragon finned koi.

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Was that the video of the koi in a blue holding tank/ swimming pool.

[@sajjadshateri4668]

hi sorry to bother my puffy molly is laying eggs what should i do are they hatched? its seems crazy but they are live breeders thanks alot

[@bobsquire8609]

No need for milking eggs etc right habitat bingo 👍

[@Mariemaymoore]

What do u do with all the babies?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

I take them to my local aquarium shop.

[@ianjohnboy]

hi mark ,great vid as usual,ive a small pond with oranda shubkin blackmoor been in pond 3yrs,anyhow last week i noticed string algae which i removed and put into a tub of water full of critters its been out on patio in the elements for over a yr anyhow ive just noticed ive baby goldfish fry in tub,shall i just leave them to it?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

If there big enough to go in the pond and your filter is protected against sucking them up put them back in. If not leave them in the tub.😀👍

[@No_215]

How big are they? Also can you make a video on breeding koi?

[@MARKSAQUATICS]

Their about 5 inches. I plan on doing a koi breeding video at some point. 😀👍

[@michaellou7101]

Cruel? Chinese who invented the fancy goldfish have been doing it for centuries. These common fish don’t need to be squeezed. They are basically still very wild.

[@merlin4real]

If you put a tray in the bottom with spacers in the corner, then put a screen on top and place the mop on top of that you will grab more.

[@rolandrees6965]

If the koi were eating the eggs, take the pair out.
