What do you need to breed Goldfish? (Besides being late Spring/Early Summer.)
Happyknitter, I suggest you swish or rinse out your filter media once a week in old tank water so your filters don't start becoming nitrate monsters. Organic matter builds up fast with Goldie's.
And nooo.... That brown goey stuff you're swishing out isn't BB it's just poo and food. Your BB is microscopic.
I have been trying to get some info on that ..Been going over the books I have .I know the big girls are over 3 years old but I have the little redcap that the boys been going after her too . She is all of 1 1/2 inches including tail. She has not grown at all. She is my favorite. she has energy to spare and not afraid of the big ones. She is my water Nymph..lol
God that poor thing. If you decide to hand-spawn her so she doesn't get impacted, Amquel Plus claims to remove the pheromones from the water that trigger breeding behavior. I have an almost new bottle of it I can't use because it drops my pH. Poor girl they are really on her.
Those eggs are stuck...do you see any polar bodies in them? If you do, pull them out and see if you can get them to hatch
By the way, did you name the lionchu Heff after I made the Hugh Heffner comment or was that his name before hand? Cause that would be hilarious.
No eggs saved ..they ate them I do another WC to the ones that fell through the rocks ..It has calm down now ..I named the boys a soon I saw the breeding stars on them ..Hugh was named after my husband Hugh Jackman ... and Heff seems like a little old man sometimes not so rough on her..lol Yeah I laught when you mention that...
