One of the fish I just got is full of eggs. She is not egg bound because when I squeezed her gently some eggs came out. How long can she hold onto these eggs before she becomes egg bound? I'm just trying to be a good koi parent and learn these things.

She's not pregnant in the sense we think of - just full of eggs. How long can she carry them? No clue. I've not had much experience with egg bound fish, but I think it is considered a problem if there's spawning activity happening and she's not releasing eggs.
