yay! A bunch of them have hatched! And I have so many plants in my 55 gallon and there is so many hundreds or thousands of eggs that I can't save even half of them. But I have a lot hatching in my other tank that I have a lot of plants with eggs on them in.

so far I keep looking into the 55 gallon and whenever I see a helpless little baby swimming around, I scoop it up gently with a cup and transfer it over to the baby tank. So far I've saved 7 from the big tank And I put liquid baby food in for them, a few of them are eating it. But alot of them are just laying around too, I'm guessing because they are tired out from hatching.

Well as to answer both of your questions, I believe the father is most likely Duke or Sir Knight. they both have tubercles on their gills, but so far I can't find any tubercles on SeaKing. So SeaKing might be a girl? I'm not sure. SeaKing has never layed eggs before so it could still be a male.

Oh and I had a question too...how warm should the tank be kept for the babies? I have a light on all the time to keep the water at a nice temperature for them. I read that baby goldfish survive better in slightly warmer weather. Is there any temp it should be? Thanks for the help!
