    Spawning

    I dont think my fish will be doing much spawning this year with moving ponds and all but my friend has a pond and was wondering if he could do something to get his fish to spawn and produce fry?

    His fish seem to spawn but all the spawn gets eat by the other fish in pond.

    We thought we'd try putting some netting (old onion sacking from market) into the pond as artificial weed beds and taking netting out once fish have spawned and replacing it into a tank where the fry can hatch and then be brought on before introducing into the pond when big enough.

    What do you Guys think?

    Any help appreciated.

    Graham.
