Tuesday trivia.............. A female koi will carry around 100,000 eggs per kilo of her body weight. You might wonder how she manages to squeeze so many eggs in to such a small space? Truth is, the size of those eggs you may have seen stuck on spawning mops are four times bigger than when they sit inside her. When expelled, the egg absorbs water to swell in size from around 0.5mm to nearly 2.0mm.
