Here's a few pics of the eggs after I removed them from my outside pond.

Thank you much Hris !!! I think I got lucky. I pulled three of my eight reds out of my tank and put them outside for the last few month. I noticed two of them where almost black yesterday and swimming in circles. To my surprise one was still in the same spot and a ton of eggs this morning. We will see if they live. Neutral

Thanks Cam !!

Well, I lost all of the first batch. Sad

Not sure if I did something wrong or not. I hope that the do breed again in the next few weeks. Due to the temp dropping so low since the first batch of eggs, I pulled them out of my pond and put them in breeder tank. So we will have to see what happens.

No, I had to pull the three out my pond due to the temp dropping, but they aren't even in breeding colors since. pale

I can always look to next summer thou.
