can't live without them!!
I have 8 large goldfish in a 75 gallon tank. I have just noticed that there are two very small clear/brown fish. Are they baby goldfish?? I have no idea what else they could be? I have never had babies before, and never expected to have any. I am quite shocked! they are pretty cute tho.

Yes, sounds like babies. They won't get their colour for 2-6 months. Some go even longer without colour. If you notice breeding tubercles (tiny white spots) on the gills of your large fish- those will be the boys.

I am just amazed! I have had these fish going on 4 years now, and never imagined they would have babies. Very cool tho!

Yes, you would be best to seperate them. There is a reason you only see two and not two hundred.

Chipoo momma!
how cute! i would definatly separate them. i just found two guppy babies in my community tank last week. i separated them because the other fish ate the rest. i can't wait to see what these little guys will look like!

Aww, baby fishies! Once when I bought platys there was a little grey speck swimming around that turned out to be a male guppy with a BEAUTIFUL tail!
Thank you Wolf_Q!
