Well seeing how constantly researching on koi spawning, my koi are at it once again. My kois are 7 years old so they are going nuts, I will separate females if necessary. My questions are can I turn a 35Gallon plastic container into a Fry Pond? Will an air stone help keep fry alive?( Instead of a filter) I will be crushing high protein koi food, and be lazy and just get the left over powder at the bottom. :ROFL:

I seriously need help, I want to help the fry live once they hatch(I have used spawning mops prior the spawning, I had a gut feeling.They were dancing and rubbing on rocks.) If I let the eggs stay in the pond, my bullheads would just use them as a delightful treat. I appreciate all help and opinions, even negative comments, Just want help and opinions.
 
Put your koi in a pond with lots of hiding places and babies well show up all over the place.
 
Forgot to metion the Koi Pond. I will provide hiding places, will PVC work? Just trying to hide them, because I have 2 Black bullheads and a small Large Mouth Bass in there.
