Egg Bound

Hello,

My inquiry is regarding young females carrying a bellly full of eggs.
Is it necessary for another male (or two even if of another variety other than Koi ie: comets, shubunkins etc.) needed in order for her to release her eggs? Or will she re-absorb the eggs into her body or just release over time?

Is the reason females get eggbound because of no males?

Curious
Thanks Barb

Males can help release eggs but is not always needed. females can reabsorb eggs but a bit of fasting is needed for this to happen.
