hello all. i'm new to this site and to breeding fish, although i've kept them for years.
earlier in the year i brought 3 shubunkins which have spawned. i seperated the fish into a bucket, they spawned and then i returned the fish to my pond leaving the eggs in the bucket.
some of the eggs have developed the eyes from what i can see and some are clearly becoming covered in fungus so obviously infertile.
my question is can i / do i remove the infertile eggs? if so how? the good eggs appear to be stuck to the bottom of the bucket so can i simply gently pour the water out and do a complete water change or is it best just to leave them to it.
thanks in advance lee
