The fish probably has an internal bacterial infection or is being bombarded by parasites, such as flukes (parasitic flatworm). To treat, raise the salt concentration in the tank to 0.3% and treat the tank with an antiparasitic medication such as fluke-tabs. This should eliminate any parasites that may be causing problems. Now to treat for an internal bacterial infection start the fish on antibiotic medicated food- this should kill off any bacteria residing in the fish's insides that are causing problems.
If you don't have a pair of fish actively and obviously chasing around like mad spawning, whatever it is you are seeing, I can almost certainly guarantee that they won't be eggs.
Small livebearers rest at the surface or at the bottom of the tank. But if you think he's sick, you should find an actual expert site that can determine illnesses
Not normally.
because it cannot get out to lay them in the corner
Usually at the bottom of the tank in the rocks.

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.
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.
Goldfish do lay eggs. The eggs will attach to something in the tank or bowl until they hatch.
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.
It cold be time to get a new fish. I'm sorry for your loss
Goldfish lay eggs. These eggs attach to objects in the tank or pond, like leaves. They stay there until the goldfish fry hatch.
If there is a male & female together in a tank, the male will chase the female poking his head against her side & belly to get her to release eggs. If she does, he will then release what is called milt in an attempt to fertilize the eggs.Then the breeder will remove the eggs from the tank into a shallow container and care for the eggs until fry are born which are cared for until they are big enough for a regular tank.
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.
No, first of all they should not be in the same tank, and secondly, goldfish are egg laying fish so they do not get pregnant
