Can a female goldfish have babies in a small tank?

Answer 1

They don't carry their babies and may be best to separate them as they might be eaten. The eggs are laid, fertalised and eventually they hatch. As eggs they will stick to objects in the tank, Make sure you have some weeds int he tank. it makes it easy to simply pull the weed out of the tank and place it in another for safe hatching!

Answer 2

Method 1

1. Start with a skein of dark acrylic yarn. Your fish will not care about the exact color, but a dark yarn will make it easier for you to notice when eggs have been laid.

1. The yarn must be able to tolerate a few minutes of boiling, because placing the yarn in boiling water is a great way of killing off malicious microorganisms. Boiling and carefully rinsing the yarn afterwards will also remove any residue dye. In addition to this, a well soaked skein will be more prone to sinking instead of floating.

1. Take a hardcover book where the length is roughly the same as the height of the aquarium in which you intend to use your spawning mop.

1. Cut off a small strand of yarn and place it across the width of your book, before you start to wind the rest of the yarn around the length of the book.

1. When you have winded your yarn around the book about one hundred times, you can cut of the yarn from the remaining skein.

1. Take the strand of yarn that you previously placed across the width of the book and tie a knot somewhere in the middle.

1. Flip the book and use a scissor to carefully cut the yarn in the middle to create a mop.

1. Take another strand of yarn and tie it to the top of the spawning mop.

Spawning mop tips!

If you want your spawning mop to float around in the aquarium, tie it to a piece of cork.
