Do adult goldfish eat their babies?

Answer 1

well a pregnant gold fish will lay their eggs but the mum does not eat her baby's egg other fish in the same tank will so for your gold fish to have a baby u need to put the mother in a tank by itself when it is pregnant

Answer 2

No. Goldfish will start to eat their own eggs as soon as they stop spawning, and they will also gobble up any fry that they can catch after they have become wrigglers or when they are free swimming.

Answer 3

It is almost always a good idea to separate adult fish from the babies except in the case where the parents care for the young as you see in some cichlids and seahorses.

In the case of goldfish, you will find it difficult to create the right conditions for the mother to lay her eggs and to keep the eggs oxygenated and clean. By leaving the adults in the tank, your challenges will increase.

Answer 4

Yes, goldfish young must always be separated
yes dad gold fish or other fish eat eggs or other fish hope this helps you

Answer 5

They eat their kids because they're hungry. No I'm joking. It's because their kid isn't healthy and it's no point to live for them. That happened to my goldfish.

Answer 6

no because the gold fish have to protect the eggs
