Do goldfish give live birth

Answer 1

The female can produce a batch of 500-1000 eggs, but they need to be fertilized by the male for them to become viable. She releases the eggs, they stick to the plants, walls, rocks in the tank, and then the male has to come by and spray them.

Answer 2

Yes, in order for the eggs of a female goldfish to grow embryos, a male goldfish must fertilize them. When spawning conditions are ideal, the males become more active and chase around the females. The males might also get tiny white bumps on their gill covers and pectoral fins. When the females are ready to lay eggs, they seek out vegetation or a nice place to drop her eggs.

Right after she drops the eggs, the males immediately follow and fertilize the eggs. The eggs that become fertilized and are not eaten by hungry goldfish, they will hatch within a week and become goldfish fry. If the goldfish fry survive, they can grow into full-sized goldfish.

Answer 3

Goldfish do not get pregnant. Most fishes do not. The female fish lays her eggs in a good place, and the male fish swims over the eggs, fertilizing them with his spermatozoa (spurm-uh-tuh-ZOE-uh) cells.

Answer 4

No, goldfish rely on external fertilization to reproduce so there is no possible way they could get pregnant thus eliminating the need to give birth.

Answer 5

Female goldfish release eggs rather than birth live babies. If there is no male present to fertilize the eggs, then they will not grow fry.

Answer 6

No, only females can give birth.
