How many times a year do goldfish breed?

Answer 1

Yes, in the summer months. If you have an aquarium with a heater, turn the heater down to colder temperatures (remember goldfish can live in freezing temperatures, surviving fierce winters in outdoor ponds, although I wouldn't recommend putting your goldfish through that if it's avoidable.) and after your aquarium water is cold for roughly a month begin to heat the water back up (do this gradually over 2 weeks or so as to not cause shock to them) and then when the water is hot they'll believe it's summer and it'll be egg-makin' time! Do some research on what kind of conditions a fry(baby goldfish) needs to survive. but that's the basics of it. Time of year is a factor!

Answer

Outdoor Goldfish in Ponds, will start to breed during Spring, especially in April.

Goldfish kept in heated aquariums can be bred at almost anytime of the year!

when you see the humping the glass.

outside ponds are normally in spring

inside aquariums are days like summer which are longer

Answer 3

Goldfish have not yet learned to tell time..

In an aquarium setting, this could actually happen at any time provided that their water is especially clean. In a pond setting, this is triggered by the warming of the water to signal the change in seasons.

Answer 4

I think that goldfish should mate when they want to or if they are mature enough. Goldfish start to mate in spring.

Answer 5

In late Spring to early summer is goldfish breeding season, this is primarily caused by the drop in water temperature, naturally caused by winter, and then the rise of temperature in Spring.

Answer 6

Breeding time for goldfish is mainly in spring until the beginning of summer(march-june)

Answer 7

In nature (outdoor pond) the goldfish will spawn once in spring. In aquaria it is possible to simulate the four seasons and stimulate breeding several times usually 3 times.

Answer 9
