Regular Member Fish_Fanatic Posted June 23, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Hi all! My fish have been in breeding mode for months, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. I have two fish, a female (Gill) and a male (Fishfishfish .... I didn't name him lol). They've been engaging in breeding behaviour for a long time now. Gill has laid eggs upwards of 10 times by now, and Fishfishfish won't cut it out with the aggressive chasing and stuff. Is this normal? How long should this last for? And is there anything I can do for them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Helen Posted June 23, 2016 Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2016 may have something to do with the water chemistry as well as the temp.. could you answer the following questions? Test Results for the Following: * Ammonia Level(Tank) * Nitrite Level(Tank) * Nitrate level(Tank) * Ammonia Level(Tap) * Nitrite Level(Tap) * Nitrate level(Tap) * Ph Level, Tank (If possible, KH, GH and chloramines) * Ph Level, Tap (If possible, KH, GH and chloramines) Other Required Info: * Brand of test-kit used and whether strips or drops? * Water temperature? also, when my pearlscales came into season, i separated the female into QT for 10 days.. seemed to have done the trick.. however, it doesn't always work.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporter Helen Posted June 23, 2016 Supporter Share Posted June 23, 2016 also, i will probably not be responding again, since i am no goldfish breeding expert and my hands on experience with this topic is very limited. but i am sure the requested information will assist others stepping in to help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member shakaho Posted June 23, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 23, 2016 Helen left out an very important question: How often do you change water and how much do you change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member mikroll Posted June 24, 2016 Regular Member Share Posted June 24, 2016 Hi all! . Gill has laid eggs upwards of 10 times by now, and Fishfishfish won't cut it out with the aggressive chasing and stuff. Is this normal? How long should this last for? And is there anything I can do for them? Hi Fish fanatic and Lucky You!! It is normal for gold fish to breed several times when conditions are good and as long as they have good weather it can last . give them lots of room and plants. You are very fortunate. Mine sometimes will skip or only give one good go and I need a large volume of eggs .It is a disaster when they do not breed for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
