behind my house there's a nice size pond never caught any big fish only tadpoles and baby koi carp well i went out there this morning and kept hearing splashing i just thought it was the bever in the water messing around as i got closer i see 5 large carp 3 were at least 24" long all i had was my 6' long mino dipping net well i was shocked and stumped all that the same time on how to catch them all at the same time.. just took a shot at it and scooped up 1 large and 2 smaller ones about 10'' on male 1 female i did the research to know how to tell them apart any ways i ran them up to the house and put them in my koi pond about 20 mins later i her splashing they were spawning again the large one was to big to keep so i set her free looking in the pond i spot 1,000's of eggs.. i thought no way that's cool so i removed all my other fish leaving the one female and 1 male hope to have some fry then next few days they will hatch to what i read in 24 to 72 hrs how cool will post pics

i also have this cat fish and some bluegill but i need to remove them today so when the eggs hatch the fry wont get eaten im going to put the fry in a 20 gallon i have set up with some pond and fresh water mixed with a heater the temp needs to be about 75 to 90 is what i read on some forums
