Well, first, your eggs should be in a separate tank from all the other fish, ok? Then, when you clean the tank with the goldfish eggs, I usually never clean out the water completely. I usually just dump out 25% of the water and replace it with clean water. I'm sure no harm to the goldfish eggs will be done if you do partial water changes, and partial water changes are all you ever will need.
However, if you REALLY need to clean out the tank completely, usually goldfish lay their eggs on aquatic plants or objects. If you move the plant or the object to another little tank or a safe place while you clean out the tank, I'm sure there will be no problem. When your done, just replace the plant/object into the finished tank.

How do know of your goldfish is making eggs?
If your goldfish is female and full of eggs, she may release them in the tank. If there is no male in the tank with her, she may very well simply reabsorb the eggs without ever releasing them at all.
What are the symptoms of a pregnant goldfish?
Fish don't get pregnant. When a male and female goldfish mate, they will swim close together and then the female will release eggs which the male will then cover in a liquid from his own body. This means that the eggs are fertilized and then they will then sink to the bottom of the tank. I suggest putting some CLEAN marbles on the bottom of the tank with the eggs because this will stop the fish trying to eat their own eggs. This works.
You bought two goldfish now you have eggs all over the bottom of your tank you took out the goldfish and the eggs are getting hairy don't know if the other was a male to fertilize what should you do?
I'm not an expert at this, but I would put the parents back in until the eggs hatch. If the eggs don't hatch about 8 mon. after that, they are probable dead. Answer- The Goldfish eggs should hatch in two or three days depending on the temperature of the water in your tank. First it is important to realize that the eggs must be fertilized by a male Goldfish, after the eggs have been laid by a female Goldfish. Did you have a male Goldfish in the tank with the female? If not the eggs will not be fertile, and will soon turn white, and will not hatch. But if the eggs were fertilized, they should hatch in two or three days depending on the temperature of the water in tank. Note: You should not try to remove the eggs from your tank.
