My dad and I have a few fish ponds and in one of them we have quite a bit of adult kois.
Since I woke up this morning (4:30AM) I've been hearing them splashing all over the place. It's still going on right now! That's over 3 hours now.
I think they might be spawning. They love clean water to spawn in and cold weather makes it even better for them and it's been raining all night and the rain probably stopped about 30 minutes ago.
I finally decided to go outside and yup, it looks like they were spawning because the water is looking very cloudy and they were still bumping each other with their bodies as I stood from a distance and watched.
We probably won't get any babies because since that's just the "leisure" pond and we did not set it up for spawning and all the eggs would probably get eaten!

Are you sure that you did not put some champagne in the water and put candle lights around the pond? If you wish to save any of the eggs, then put some in a large clean container with an air stone and keep the water clean. You might put some aquatic plants in the container so that the babies (when they hatch) will have something to eat in the form of infusoria.
