Guest goldcrazy Posted June 19, 2005 Okay, two weeks ago my goldfish had babies, and I sucsessfully saved about 21 fry. (They are so darn cute) But!!!Yesterday she had about another 300 eggs. How many times in a season will a goldfish spawn? Goldcrazy... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ranchugirl 17 Posted June 22, 2005 Gunn from Fishcorner told me once that in perfect conditions they can spawn every 2-3 weeks until the cows come home. Thank goodness, my conditions aren't perfect, or I would need to hire a fish maid! Realistically, once a month from spring to fall sounds about right. Although, my shubunkin are after each other constantly. I wonder if they even sleep... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Lizzy Posted June 22, 2005 Once a month? *gets Deagra and birth control for her fish* They must be caviar lovers 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tazz Knight 1 Posted July 31, 2005 besides separating them, what else cna you to to temporay stop the breeding cause I am running out of space for fry. I bought two new tanks.....no room for anymore tanks and they are still doing the nasty....lol 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ranchugirl 17 Posted July 31, 2005 Well, if you leave the eggs to themselves, the parents will eat them - it will take care of itself that way. Maybe a few eggs will hatch, but the parents will eat the little fry as well. Maybe a couple will make it anyway though.... 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Pondandfish Posted August 12, 2005 My only breed once this year. But one of the Comet looks egg bound for the last couple of months. So waiting to see how it fans out. Right now only 8 koi frys left for this year's batch. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
