hi , well i have a blue oranda and a red fantail and a ryurkin
well the ryurkin is 2yrs old and
blue oranda is around about 5 months old
red fantail are around about 6 - 9 months old
and at that age i think they are not fertile but red fantail is bloated with eggs what should i do my male ryurkin has breeding stars but isn't really interested in her anymore so what should i do should i leave her in the tank with the male or remove her to see if she will slim down a bit i always thought that she was to young to have fry

if anyone can help me by telling me if she is ready for mating she has been bloated with eggs for aroud a month is this too long should i raise the temp of the water if it would help if anyone could reply i would be very greatful

thanks


unfortually i haven't got a digital camera so i cant post any pics

Your ryukin might be old enough for breeding, but your other two fish are a bit too young for that. The fantail has been a bit bigger like that for a month, you think? And no interest from the ryukin at all, or was there some, and it subsided? Is it possible that the fish just has grown some, and got fatter from food?
You can raise the tank temperature some, yes, one degree per hour, and you don't need to raise it up all that much. 3-4 degrees are fine.

there was and then it subsided

i dont have a heater cos my room is really warm and is reasonable at night too but i might get 1 for the winter
