Goldfish will start to eat their eggs once they have finished spawning them. They do not look after their eggs at all.
Goldfish lay eggs. These eggs attach to objects in the tank or pond, like leaves. They stay there until the goldfish fry hatch.
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.
Yes, the rate at which a goldfish grows, and its overall size, is often partially determined by its environment. This is why pond goldfish are considerably larger than aquarium goldfish, and why goldfish that are cramped-up in bowls stay relatively small. If you want your goldfish to grow into large healthy fish you'll buy them a large aquarium or pond to live in.
Tish the fish, in England, lived to be over 40 years old......he is the longest living goldfish on record
As long as your pond doesn't freeze over, you can let your fish stay in there year-round. If you aren't sure whether or not the pond will freeze over, you shouldn't take the risk- move the fish into an indoor aquarium until spring. There is also the option of buying a heater for your pond, to keep it from freezing, if you don't want to deal with the hassle of setting up an aquarium for the fish.
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.
I think it is six weeks.
Nope! Black Moors and other black goldfish get along fine with almost any sort of fancy goldfish.
We have had 2 hatchings of goldfish and they usually start changing to gold, or any other colors that they will be, at a month old, and will continue to change color while they grow.
yes. their seasoning could go bad if there in the fresh air too long. :)
You should not have goldfish and platies in the same tank ever.
