The nano tank man Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 My two oranda goldfish I have might have breed. Now ive never breed fish so I might be a little freaked out. Ive determined one of my fish is a female. Th other I cant tell. Yesterday they where chasing a little but I thought they where looking for food. Later I saw them pressed up on the glass worming around. I cant tell if this is a leftovwr egg or not. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTill Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Doesn’t really look like it, or at least not a viable one. Spawning parents will gobble up eggs as quickly as they lay them, so only a few will escape unnoticed if the parents don’t get pulled. I’ve bred a lot of goldfish and the eggs will tend to be clear/yellowish if fertilized or dull white if not. Here’s a photo of a spawning tray with babies hatching out. Best of luck with future spawns! Not an if, but a when. As a hint, check your water. Male milt released during spawning often causes a huge ammonia spike, so I tended to do an almost immediate 90% change on any spawn tanks as a preventative thing.
