What Triggers It
Most pond fish spawn in response to rising spring temperatures and longer daylight, sometimes combined with rainfall or a change in water level.
What It Means For Pond Owners
Spawning fish can be more aggressive and territorial than usual, and eggs or fry are highly vulnerable to being eaten by other fish in the same pond. Not every pond owner wants successful spawning, since it can lead to overstocking faster than expected.
