Its not often that I stop by, but I know when I do that I'll find what I need!

I just noticed my suspected male ryunkin is sporting white bumps on his cheeks and pectoral fin edge.. AND that one of my suspected FEMALES is as well! Well, I guess she is a he... Thanks for the breeding info post with pictures that helped me verify the white spots were breeding tuber-whatsits instead of ich (power had been out for several hours and I was a little worried.. oh crap, that was probably what triggered a temp change and "encouraged" them!)

Will the two males really harass the one female? One of the males is the calico with some spinal issues that I posted about a few weeks ago, he can't swim too well so I don't think he'd be bothering her too much, at least not that she can't get away.

Or will it not get too rough if I don't do the whole high protien feeding and temp changes, etc? I've noticed her tail is a little shredded, but I haven't seen any unusual behavior in front of me yet. She is a fat thing, I don't know if that would be eggs or if she's just fat, hehe...

I'm going to be moving in about 2 weeks, and really don't want to be worrying about something extra!

Sounds like normal breeding behavior to me. LOL, my male ryukin likes to chase around the females. LOL... I have one fish that is constantly harassing the females, they get a few rough edged fins, but dont seem stressed out, just from all the nipping from the males... Just keep an eye on the female(s) and make sure they dont get overly stressed.

Good luck with the move as well

thats cool that you finally know the sex of your fish. I hope that they goldies can wait until you move to do the nasty cause it would be messy and tedious to move with fry
