@Honconfuey It's always hard for us fishlovers when we see new fish - we can't help but bring it home :) As I mentioned, make sure to do frequent water changes. For now, 3 goldfish in a 30g is your MAX. This video shows a crowded tank & because of the high bio-load, I had to change 80% water every 24-48hrs. 4 important things: don't overcrowd, don't overfeed, change water FREQUENTLY and keep your tank well aerated.
@huntawunta, If I got 4 goldfish in a 30 gallon tank, I would change water every 3-5 days. Could I still get both fish if I do frequent water changes? Otherwise, just the Black Moor
@Honconfuey 6 goldfish in a 30g is way overstocked - but if you must overcrowd your tank, just make sure to make FREQUENT water changes to maintain water quality. Remember that all that diluted waste in the water creates pathogens that can cause parasitic, bacterial, fungal & viral infections. When they reach 4-5 inches, makes sure upgrade to a bigger tank (at least 55-75gallons). Also, make sure to quarantine your new fish before introducing into the main tank. All new fish carry parasites...
@594JLP A female goldfish can spawn over a thousand eggs in one day but it depends on the male how many can be fertilized. A mature female can spawn continuously everyday upto 4 weeks or more.
@thehamsterlove1 Yes, I found good homes for all of them. I donated to 4 schools, nature centers, and some private pond owners. Some were also sold. I kept only 13 of my favorite ones. Of those 13, one fish has already spawned her own babies in October 2010. Those new ones are now 7months old and are being rehomed.
hey i have two goldfish in a 10 gallon tank is that ok or should i be worried because i really have grown to love them and would hate for anything to happen to them.. i just got my second one yesterday i really couldnt help myself he was just so stinking cute and he was on sale i had to get him... and im not 100
% sure he is not a she and deff cant afford any babies in the future...:S and they are two different breeds what would happen?!? please help:D
@tdcr08 1st, quarantine new fish into a separate tank or tub for 2wks. Chances are your new fish has ICH contracted from crowded tanks in the fish store.Treat w/ anti-parasitic meds (praziquantel or aquarisol) before introducing to main tank otherwise it will infect the other fish. UPGRADE the tank in future. One goldfish needs at least 20gallons.Change the water every wk. Remember: diluted waste in the tank creates pathogens that causes parasitic, fungal & bacterial diseases.
@blowmeplzzz Hi, thanks for stopping by. The parents are in one of my videos entitled "Mika and Squishy Spawning / Goldfish". The female is a Butterfly Telescope and the male is a Ryukin. When crossbreeding these 2 kinds, the resulting goldfish variant are called VEILTAILS. You can read more about veiltail goldfish when you google "Ryukin Veiltail".
@huntawunta thnx for the info...they r cute fish but im not into it...since im a lazyass to cleanup the tank it wont be proper for me to have goldfish as a pet (.troublesome)..instead i got myself a snakehead and im happy wit it...
@BoonejessicaREAL if the male was successful fertilizing the eggs then yes, you will have new fry babies. For now, you only need a shallow rubbermaid tub to house the fry until they are 3 months.
Wow, what a sight! I love this super-cool castle-type thing in the middle... I'm about to have betta fry, and I sure don't hope I end up with this many fry, because unlike goldfish, bettas don't appreciate that much company... ;)
@kouthaostar90 I got the tank 2ndhand off of craigslist for $300 (it came w/ the stand, 2 aquaclear 500s, glass canopies & light).
Overcrowding is a problem. 9 fish in 10gallons will create a big poop soup. Diluted waste along w/ uneaten food will contaminate water & create pathogens that cause fungal, bacterial & parasitic infections.
Change 50% water 2-3x a week. See if you can transfer some to a “Rubbermaid stock container” until you can upgrade to a bigger tank. Hope this helps.
@armeniandude99 There are 3 AquaClear 500 Hang-on-back Filters installed in this tank and they are very strong. I put the sponge at the opening of the intake tube so that the fishes won't get sucked in. If you look at the latest videos of the goldfish (now 9 months) you'll see that I have removed the sponge since the fish have grown bigger :)

The goldfish laid their egg roes on my plastic plants. I took out the plastic plants and gently removed the roes. I put this in a bowl filled with dechlorinated water. After I've collected all the roes, I put a couple of drops of methylene blue. This is to prevent fungus forming on the eggs. You can also use malachite green. I let the medicine settle for 15 minutes and then I remove the water and replace it with fresh dechlorinated water.
@huntawunta HELP!! My angelfish just laid eggs and this is my first time dealing with eggs. Angelfish eggs look like white BBs at first but now most of em have what you call an "eye". I had a smokey angel that bred a koi so I want them to hatch and see what comes of them.
In about 24 hours you can see the ones that are fertillized develop an "eye". Unfertilized eggs turn white. You must remove those or they'll get fungus and infect the other eggs. The roes start hatching in 48-72 hours. There is a video of the roes hatching into which I posted here a few months ago. Once the fry is free swimming you can start feeding them Hikari First Bites Fry Food or Decapsulated Baby Brine Eggs.
