Goldfish do not have the habit of protecting their eggs, so breeders need to fish out the parent fish after they spawn to prevent the parent fish from eating the eggs as food. Before spawning, breeders should put aquatic plants and fish nests in the spawning tank, so that the eggs can be attached to them and the probability of being eaten by parent fish can be reduced. Goldfish are fertilized in vitro, so after the female fish lays eggs, the male fish needs to be put in to ejaculate in order to form fertilized eggs. Fish eggs can only hatch after they become fertilized eggs, and unfertilized eggs cannot hatch.
How do goldfish keep their eggs? How do they hatch?

1. how to keep the eggs

of goldfish? Goldfish lay a large number of eggs, and they do not have the habit of protecting the eggs, and some even eat the eggs as food. Therefore, breeders need to isolate the parent fish immediately after spawning, so that the eggs can be well protected. But goldfish usually lay eggs at dawn or in the early hours of the morning, and some breeders can't wait for them to give birth. In this case, the breeder can put some aquatic plants or fish nests in the spawning tank, so that the eggs laid by the goldfish can be attached to the nest, and it is difficult for the parent fish to eat all the eggs.

2. How to hatch

goldfish eggs? Goldfish can hatch after fertilization. The hatching speed of fertilized eggs is closely related to the water temperature. If the water temperature is 18-22 ℃, it will take 7 days for fertilized eggs to hatch. If the water temperature is 23-26 ℃, it will take 5 days. If the water temperature is 30 ℃, it only takes 2 days. But the highest water temperature that fertilized eggs can accept is about 30 C. If the water temperature is too high, it will affect their survival rate. When young goldfish are hatched, breeders need to ensure that the water temperature and quality are stable, because they are born, weak and sensitive to environmental changes. If the environment fluctuates too much, it will affect their health.
