Do gold fish have to have the water a certain temperature or something to lay eggs? I've had tons of goldfish, but none of them ever had babies.....I would get moss, but my goldfish would probably just lay eggs, and I don't want babies lol.

Genny, you'd be surprised. In a goldfish tank it can take as little as an hour for all the eggs laid to have been eaten. Your's may have had eggs at one point in time. The temperature isn't the big thing, ph is. In my tanks it is currently 9 and there is no breeding. Eventually I will have to adjust a breeding tank for that purpose, but right now I'm holding off.

No they really don't need a certain temperature, just the same temp that your tank is all the time. The only is that goldfish will only really lay eggs if they feel they are in the environment too and that there is a safe place to lay there eggs. Like my tank, it only has decorations and fake plants in it, so my goldfish don't feel like there is any place to lay eggs safely, but one time I had a very real plant in there that had lots of leaves eggs could hide in, and sure enough my big Queen layed eggs. Some hatched but they never did live. I took some out of the tank and put them into a smaller safer tank where a filter couldn't get them and the other goldfish couldn't eat them, and they lived for over 2 months and then got to a certain point where they just wouldn't get any bigger no matter what, they just stayed less than a centametre big. Then sooner or later they died. Anyways, for your goldfish to lay eggs, they might do it if you had a really good plant that could hide eggs in, like live fish mossOriginally Posted by Genny

I will love you forever Bobo
And shelties too!
Gorgeus tank. I have been so lucky with all of the real plants I have gotten, no snails at all. But fake plants are much easier.
Thanks so much Ashley for the siggy!

oh! ok! cool...
My angel fish layed some eggs about 4 weeks ago... There was about 100, but not there is only 6 left. I think they'll live. I hope so!
