How many eggs do comet goldfish lay?

Answer 1

If your comet is in a pond, then it will likely lay eggs once the water warms up to signal breeding season.

If it is in an aquarium, then it can happen during any season provided there is a heater in the tank, and your tank water is very clean.

Answer 2

Comets are only long tailed goldfish and they reproduce in exactly the same way as all other goldfish. The female will produce many thousands of ova (eggs) depending on her size and how well she has been housed and fed.

Answer 3

They don't particularly "hold eggs". What happens is the female fish start to develop ova as the water warms up and more food becomes available in Spring time. The males are doing a very similar thing only they are building up a supply of Milt (sperm). Once the water reaches the right temperature and the fish are all ready to breed they spawn as a group. If a female fish is alone and fails to find a male, her ova are absorbed back inside her body as nourishment. (Waste not want not).

Answer 4

The female goldfish will release their eggs when they are being driven/chased by the males during their spawning process. (Usually in Springtime).
