Hey there, generally speaking, yes. If the eggs are attached to the glass or plants and the other cleaner fish gets to it, they will be gone. Ive had this happen to me once before. But u might be lucky and score a couple out of it. Hope this helps. catch! So maybe you should flush your tank cleaner fish down the toilet for being a bad fishy.

How many eggs do comet fish lay?
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.
Why is your comet goldfish laying eggs on the bottom of the tank?

Is a pregnant goldfish called pregnant goldfish?
Goldfish don't get pregnant.
What should you do if your goldfish is pregnant and you have a small tank?
Goldfish are not livebearers so they are never truly pregnant. If you think your goldfish is pregnant than she is just getting ready to spawn by becoming full of eggs. Unless there is a male goldfish present the eggs will be unfertilized and will not hatch into baby goldfish fry. Your female goldfish will soon lay her eggs, and if no further action is taken, she will then eat them. As for the small tank, I would really recommend moving her into a bigger one.

What do you do if you have a pregnant goldfish?
Your goldfish isn't pregnant, its just becoming full of unfertilized eggs. Truthfully you shouldn't worry about it, unless you have a male around who is ready to spawn, the female will just lay her unfertilized eggs and then eat them.
How do you know if you're fish is just fat or pregnant?
Goldfish don't get pregnant. They lay eggs (ova). If it is springtime in your part of the world then female goldfish could well have their ovaries full of eggs and be ready to spawn. If they do not spawn, the eggs will be reabsorbed by the body.
Do you have to remove a pregnant goldfish from the tank to have the baby fish live?
Goldfish "spawn" they do not get pregnant because they are egg layers and the eggs are fertilised after they are released from the females body. Goldfish will eat their eggs if they can find them, so either the fertilised eggs or the goldfish should be removed once 'spawning' is completed if you wish to raise some of the young. BTW 1 goldfish spawning can produce many thousands of babys.
How long does a female common goldfish stay expectant?

How can you know whether the goldfish is pregnant?
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.
How long is a goldfish pregnancy?
Goldfish do not have a gestation period because the reproduction of goldfish does not, at any point, involve pregnancy. Goldfish lay their unfertilized eggs which are then fertilized by nearby male goldfish. The fertilized eggs then develop and hatch into fry which then grow into baby fish. Goldfish do not BECOME pregnant. They lay eggs and the male goldfish fertilizes them
