When the goldfish breed, the goldfish need to be put into the water according to the ratio of 1:2 between the male and the female, and a suitable environment is provided for the goldfish, the water temperature is controlled to be between 18 and 25 deg C, and the PH is controlled to be between 7.2 and 7.4.

1. How do goldfish reproduce

? Goldfish reproduce through male and female mating. Goldfish are oviparous fish, and when they reach reproductive age, they will pair and mate independently and reproduce. When they are about to breed, they should first prepare a relatively wide fish tank, put some water, control the water temperature between 18-25 C, PH between 7.2-7.4. Such a suitable environment is conducive to their reproduction. Water needs to be dechlorinated before use. Chlorine is a toxic gas that can harm fish.

Then put some water plants in the fish tank, so that the female fish can enter the water plants to ovulate. After the female ovulates, the male releases sperm to fertilize the eggs. The fertilized eggs will be attached to the aquatic plants, and after about a week, the small fish will be hatched. After everything is ready, the female and male fish of the right age can be put into the water to breed in pairs according to the ratio of 1:2. This sex ratio can improve the success rate of fertilization of fish eggs.

is the reproductive cycle of goldfish? The reproductive cycle of goldfish is one year. Generally, goldfish have reproductive capacity 4-6 months after birth, when the female and male fish will mate and reproduce. Most goldfish breed at the turn of spring and summer every year. In the south, goldfish breed 1-2 months earlier than in the north. In the south, it usually lays eggs in March and April, and in the north, it usually lays eggs in April and June.
