How do goldfish reproduce?
As a classic species of ornamental fish, the reproduction process of goldfish has always been the focus of aquarium enthusiasts. This article will combine the hot topics and hot content on the Internet in the past 10 days to introduce in detail the breeding methods, conditions and precautions of goldfish, and present key information through structured data.
1. Basic conditions for goldfish reproduction
Goldfish reproduction requires certain environmental conditions and physiological states. The following are essential elements for reproduction:
| Conditions | Specific requirements |
|---|---|
| water temperature | 18-24℃ (spring is the peak period of natural reproduction) |
| water quality | pH 7.0-7.4, ammonia nitrogen content less than 0.02mg/L |
| light | 10-12 hours of light a day to stimulate estrus |
| nutrition | High-protein feed (such as water fleas and blood worms) needs to be fed before breeding. |
2. The reproduction process of goldfish

1.Estrus performance: The male fish will chase the female fish and hit the female fish’s abdomen with his head; the female fish’s abdomen will be obviously enlarged, and the cloaca will be red, swollen and prominent.
2.Egg laying and fertilization: The female fish adheres the eggs to aquatic plants or artificial fish nests, and the male fish immediately discharges semen to complete fertilization. The number of eggs laid in a single time can reach 1,000-10,000.
| Variety | Average number of eggs laid | fertilization rate |
|---|---|---|
| grass goldfish | 3000-5000 capsules | 85%-95% |
| Ryukin | 2000-4000 capsules | 75%-90% |
| Lanshou | 1000-3000 capsules | 70%-85% |
3.incubation stage: The fertilized eggs hatch in about 3-4 days at a water temperature of 25°C. The newly hatched fry rely on the yolk sac to provide nutrients. After 3 days, they can be fed with sewage water or egg yolk water.
3. Reproduction issues that are hotly debated across the Internet
Based on recent hot topics of online discussion, the following common problems and solutions have been compiled:
| hotly discussed issues | solution | Discuss the popularity index |
|---|---|---|
| The phenomenon of broodstock eating eggs | Isolate broodstock immediately after spawning | ★★★★☆ |
| Fry survival rate is low | Keep water quality stable and use dedicated seedling tanks | ★★★☆☆ |
| Artificial labor induction method | Injection of HCG hormone (requires professional operation) | ★★☆☆☆ |
4. Precautions during the breeding period
1.Broodstock selection: Individuals that are 2-3 years old, strong, and have obvious breed characteristics should be selected. The male to female ratio is recommended to be 1:2.
2.postpartum care: After breeding, the broodstock need to be kept alone and supplemented with vitamin E and other nutrients.
3.Fry management: Change 1/4 of the water every day for the first two weeks, and the water temperature should not fluctuate by more than 1°C; after 20 days, the first screening can be based on body shape.
Through scientific management and mastery of the laws of reproduction, goldfish enthusiasts can successfully achieve artificial reproduction. Recent network data shows that regarding"Goldfish Breeding Temperature Control"and"Fry opening bait"The search volume increased by 35% and 28% month-on-month respectively, reflecting the strong demand for technology in the spring breeding season.
