Help, my goldfish are spawning!

15 years ago

What should I do? I noticed a lot of splashing and chasing going on yesterday and had a hunch. Put some plastic plants in the tank and this morning there are definitely a few eggs stuck on them! Now what? Do I leave the plants in till their done? Anyone know how to go about hatching these little guys?! Thanks so much!

Hi
Congrats on keeping GF in such good health in a tank!!
I suspect that by now the parents have solved the problem and have devoured all the eggs lol Spawning in a pool is easy but tough in a tank. You will have to move the eggs to a separate tank to have any hope of raising them.
They need lots of room and good food to make it. gary

Thanx! I actually now have quite a few eggs in a smaller tank ready to hatch any day! The little cuties look like an curled eyelash with eyes wiggling around in their eggs. I'm really pretty excited!
