How old can grass goldfish breed and how often can they breed?

Generally speaking, more than one year of breeding grass goldfish will have reproductive capacity. However, there will be relatively early sexual maturity of grass goldfish, breeding 10-11 months to have the ability to reproduce. However, the hatching rate of eggs laid by such young fish is relatively low. Therefore, in the artificial breeding of grass goldfish, it is best not to choose the grass goldfish that has just entered the sexual maturity stage as a parent fish. It is suggested that grass goldfish aged about 2 years should be selected as parent fish.

1. how old can grass goldfish breed

The breeding process of grass goldfish is relatively simple. However, grass goldfish need to reach a certain age, that is, after sexual maturity before they have the ability to reproduce. Specifically, about a year of breeding grass goldfish, basically have the ability to reproduce. Of course, there will be a relatively early stage of sexual maturity of grass goldfish.

However, if the fish are used for reproduction, the eggs produced by them are not easy to hatch, and the quality of the small fish is not good. Therefore, as far as possible to choose older fish as parent fish, try not to use those who have just entered the sexual maturity stage of grass goldfish. Generally speaking, you can choose the age of grass goldfish over 2 years old, with this fish breeding, relatively good results.

2. how often do grass goldfish breed

After sexual maturity, grass goldfish can breed in the breeding season. Generally speaking, their breeding will be concentrated in spring from April to June. At this stage, they can reproduce about 1-3 times. After a reproduction, the parent fish will use a period of time to recuperate, and so on to restore energy before the next reproduction process. The rest time used by the mother fish is still relatively long, if the rest is not good, it may not be able to carry out the next breeding process. Specifically, how many times they can reproduce depends on the temperature of the water and the way they are raised. In addition to the spring months, they sometimes breed in the fall. If the conditions in all aspects are suitable in autumn, then grass goldfish may continue to reproduce.
