Does anyone have experience/info with koi and bass/sunfish spawning? I have 8 adult koi, 7 of which were added mid summer last year so I didn't observe them when the sunfish and bass were spawning. I can't confirm but it looked like the koi might have been cleaning out a bass nest of it's eggs. The bass are 3-4 years old and healthy but some of the koi are 2 feet long and at least 10-15 pounds.
I wouldn't hate if the fry survival rate was quite low as I have plenty of 1 and 2 year old bass offspring, well over 100 total bass, in half an acre. Surprisingly still have a large number of golden shiner despite stocking 30 8-10" bass a few years ago.
