If she is full of eggs a female goldfish looks as if she has a bulge along both sides leading down towards the vent.
Comet goldfish usually lay between 500-5,000 eggs. The reason why they lay so many is because goldfish eggs, and fry, have high mortality rates. Having so many eggs ensures that at least some of the goldfish fry will reach adulthood.
You can tell if it's having eggs by if it berring itself in the sand or dirt
Goldfish do lay eggs. The eggs will attach to something in the tank or bowl until they hatch.
Goldfish are egg laying fish, and unless there is a male in the tank to chase the female and convince her to release eggs, you may not know that she is either female, or even has eggs to release.
No, goldfish do not stay with their eggs. After spawning, goldfish typically scatter their eggs in the water, and they do not provide any care or protection for the eggs or the resulting fry.
Goldfish do not get pregnant, but rather they produce eggs. If there is no male around, most often the female will reabsorb the eggs and never actually release any.A female goldfish may get much rounder when full of eggs, but this can be difficult to tell if you have a Ryukin or a Fantail as their body shape is quite round.
Don't worry!!! Goldfish eat their own eggs!!! If you want the eggs, then you have to separate the mother from the eggs.
If the goldfish eggs appear "fuzzy" then they are growing fungus.
Goldfish do not get pregnant like mammals do. Instead, female goldfish lay eggs that are fertilized by male goldfish. You can tell if a female goldfish is ready to lay eggs by looking for a swollen abdomen and a more rounded body shape. Additionally, the female may exhibit behaviors such as digging in the substrate or chasing other fish in the tank.
Goldfish are not livebearers so they are never truly prenant. After the female goldfish lays her eggs a nearby male will release a cloud of milt and fertilize the eggs. After this if the mother and father goldfish are not removed from the eggs the eggs will be eaten. So in short a goldfish does not and should not stay with its mother.
The male goldfish will get white spots on it's gill cover, and the female will start looking swollen because she has eggs inside her. Sadly though, most times when goldfish mate, they eat their eggs and you will get no young. If you try many times though it will probably work! Hope this helps!
Goldfish lay eggs. These eggs attach to objects in the tank or pond, like leaves. They stay there until the goldfish fry hatch.
