Question about breeding ....please respond all. Thanks

Ok here it is, My male Salmon has been breeding my female normal for quite some time. Now this past saturday night he and her both pooped and what a mess. I took them out to change the cage and noticed she looked like she had about a thousand marbles in her. They were like small bubble shapes on her sides all the way down her body. They were soft feeling yet her body mass was large and firm. Were these the egg folicles?? Is that the ovulation?? They seemed to show a lack of interest in breeding now, maybe just a break. So I put the male in with my other female and went to work, my wife called me and said they had also started breeding. Needing more info on what ovulation is like and when it is ok to take them appart and start him on my other female? I came home from work and put him back in with the first female.

Can you post pics of the female with the 'marbles'? I doubt they are follicles or that she has ovulated. I would put them back together since he may not be done with her!

They only lasted that one night, the next day they were gone....I must have just caught it right. I have them back together again. Thanks Andy

That might have been Sperm? Did you roll it in your fingers? If you did and then it rolled up? I say put them back together too
