Some carp are spawning along the bank in a local lake.

What is a good way to collect their eggs to hatch out as feeder fish?

Thanks

I don't know, but that seems like the most appropriate use for them. Good luck!

I'd just put the eggs in a tank alone and let them hatch... make sure the tank has the necesary things in it for carp to live...


I don't see what would be so hard about it.

he meant how to get the eggs I've tried this before with longnose gar and had some luck get a gravel cleaner and suck um up in a bucket with a strainer on top collecteggs or wash futher the eggs went staight into a 10gallon with 2 sponge filters hatched in about 12 hours feed them infosoria and then baby brine started with 100 eggs got 5 2 inchers after 1 month and they went to a grow out pond untill they go to my grandmas pond for cleaning up the goldfish population in the pond.


btw: I was at a private pond NOT a lake or river so I wouldnt try this if you are at a river or lake
