Can a goldfish be gay or lesbian?

Actually, yes. Goldfish can be gay or lesbian, much like other aquarium creatures. You may be observing your fish bowl on a specific occasion and notice that the females are kissing other females, or vise versa. This is bound to change after several minutes of observation due to the goldfish's short memory span. They will probably decide to get with the opposite sex when they forget that they are gay or lesbian. Stupid Amerca

Name the fish that cannot swim?

Non-aquatic animals are the animals that cannot swim. But more specifically, most felines (apart from tigers) and even some birds like chickens cannot swim. Also most mammals are not very fond of water. Most reptiles swim but there are a few exceptions in snakes and tortoises. Chickens can swim! (I bet on it) Tortoises (not all of them) do not, they are too heavy and too slow to swim but i know for sure that they simply hold their breath and walk on the bottom of body of water. Mine was doing it by himself and seemed to enjoy it :) I think that most animals can swim, not all of them are good at it, or enjoy it. Cats also can swim! (they might not like it, but they swim) For some of them it comes naturally, some have to actually learn it from their parents or care takers (even big cats like lions).

How do you breed goldfish?

Bring the temperature down to about 60' over time. Do not do it suddenly because it may kill your fish. Bring it down 2' every day until it gets to 60'.Then slowly bring it back up. This gives the fish the feeling it is summer which is when they breed. The fish will lay the eggs and the male will fertilize them. Then they try to eat all the eggs they can so you may want to take the fish out of the tank with eggs. After the eggs hatch they are safe and wont get eaten. Baby fish usually eat Brine Shrimp but there are other things you can feed them.

How long does it take a pregnant goldfish to lay eggs?

Goldfish (Carassius auratus auratus) need enough water and the right temperature to breed, especially in pond settings. Breeding usually occurs after a significant temperature change such as occurs in the spring.

If you have a gravid (carrying eggs) goldfish, you will need the males to make egg laying possible. The males will chase, bump and nudge the female, and that will stimulate egg release. The eggs will attach to aquatic vegetation and hatch within 48-72 hours. It would be a good idea to remove all other fish at that time. Goldfish, and others, are known to eat the fry.

How do fish get pregnant?

Fish do not perform sexual intercourse like other animals do, and consequently do not "get pregnant." Instead, during the time when breeding season occurs (which is initiated by changes in temperature, seasonal change, changes in daylight time, etc.), the females will lay their eggs in a secluded spot, and the chosen male that has gained the right to mate with the female will pass over the eggs and excrete sperm over those eggs.

In fish species where females are capable of getting pregnant (such as sharks and rays), males and females mate the same way birds do, with the "cloaca kiss" where the female and male's cloaca briefly meet so that the male can ejaculate sperm into the female.
