Goldfish are fertilized in vitro, so they can't get pregnant. Normally, females only lay eggs, and when they are ready to lay eggs, the male goldfish will keep chasing the female, which means they are at the stage of laying eggs. Before spawning, goldfish will have a marked loss of appetite and activity, and if they are not isolated, they will find a quiet and hidden place to stay.
How to tell if a goldfish is pregnant and how to reproduce

1. How to tell whether a goldfish is pregnant

or not? Goldfish are oviparous. They are fertilized in vitro, so goldfish will not be pregnant. But in the breeding season, the female goldfish will be pregnant, and before they lay eggs, there will be many places different from usual. The more obvious is the shape, the abdomen of the female fish will become slightly inflated, and the fins of the male fish will show the symptoms of chasing stars. In addition, goldfish will eat less before spawning, and they do not like to move. If the breeder does not transfer them to a new breeding tank in time, they will find a quiet environment for their own delivery. When they are waiting to give birth, if other fish approach, they will come forward to drive them away.

2. How to breed

goldfish? In order to breed goldfish, first of all, we should choose the right parent fish. Specifically, the species and characteristics of goldfish should be obvious, healthy, lively, and the most important thing is the right age. In addition, when choosing, it is better to follow the ratio of 1:2 or 1:3.

After the goldfish is in heat, the breeder had better prepare a separate breeding tank for them, prepare the fish nest in the tank, and control the water temperature in the breeding tank above 20 C. If the male pushes the female with his belly, it means that they are about to give birth.

Most goldfish begin to give birth in the early hours of the morning. When they give birth, the female will lay eggs first, followed by the male who will discharge semen. The combination of the two eggs will become fertilized eggs. After a few days of incubation,

the fertilized eggs will become small fish, which will not swim when they are born, and the breeder can wait 2-3 days to feed them.
