Regular Member I-Goldfish Posted January 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 This isn't really breeding as such I have never known if my 3 fish are make or female . But patchy would chase Specky around a bit so I guessed he was male and Specky female and blacky I just don't know ! Today I noticed breeding stars on patchys gills I think and just wanted to check if they are breeding stars ? He has silver , white gill plates so it's kinda hard to see . This is a video because he is too fast to take any clear pictures ! Thanks http://i1325.photobucket.com/albums/u637/I-goldfish/C5B2A228-40AD-43E5-B211-271C646551C9-1162-0000045D5BAB4DC9_zpsad71ed87.mp4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Stratt14goldies Posted January 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Unfortunately, I don't know much about when they spawn, but a lot have been breeding lately.

Regular Member motherredcap Posted January 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 It's hard to see and gosh is he fast but yes, I think that I see a thickening on the top of the front fins. If we go by Fang and Tithra, fish spawn at Christmas, but I think they are capable any time of year. Our fish had very many breeding stars in the summer and basically none now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member Gcourtney Posted January 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 Gold fish tend to spawn in spring in ponds , but since they are in warm tanks inside they can breed any time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Sakura Posted January 6, 2013 Regular Member Share Posted January 6, 2013 I think I can see a few of the spots on his gill plate there, looks like breeding stars to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
