milking if im correct is the term used when the eggs are removed from the fish i could be wrong lol over to you ryan

according to the movie 'meet the parents' you can milk anything with nipples, but i'm not aware of any fish that posses nipples!

i'm pretty sure it's just as bri said, but Ryan is the coldwater expert!

Its a new one on me to, never heard of the term 'milking' unless it refers to the collecting of Koi eggs without a male or something strange but if it does excist it is certainly not widely practiced or maybe it is a term used by one or two Koi keepers but no one else?

Milking fish is very common up here well salmon anyways. It consists of little more than sqeezing the fish just right to get either milt or eggs the term acctually came from dolts mispronounceing milting. Just a little FYI but milting refers to males only so now milking has become the correct term

ahhhhh right so you get a male and female goldfish and hold them in water with plants and you make both fish do the thing
and it saves getting the eggs after they have bred in a pond?
is dat right lol
