Goldfish are not born as such. They develop (hatch out) from adhesive eggs (ova) that have been scattered by the female and fertilised by the male amongst water plants near the surface of the water. After successfull fertilization, depending on water temperature, the ova can take anywhere from 36 to 72 hours to develop into wriggling fry.

∙ 14y agoGoldfish do not have physical contact type mating as mammals do. When conditions are perfect for breeding, the male goldfish chases the female goldfish and they go into what appears to be a "frenzy". At this stage, she sprays her sticky ova (eggs) all over the plants and shallow areas of their pond (aquarium) where they stick and are fertilized by the milt (sperm) that is sprayed by the male goldfish. Then if the fish are not separated from the eggs the fish will eat them.
