Hiya...

i wnt to breed my two shubunkins but i was just wondering what do they eggs actually look like?

and who has been succesful breeding there fish?

Please reply. tah x

hello again! yeah, the eggs look like transparant kind of yellowy dots. you will know when you see them. there will be a lot of them stuck tot he plants, you cant miss them!

Hiyaaa. well i have a sort of bridge satue and it has little yellow things on it. i just cleaned my tank out. do u think they could be eggs or just something from the tank.

reply asap please so i no whta 2 do with them.

p.s there only on that and theres about 10

you might have eggs there! are they quite small and really stuck on there? describe them to me, if it is their first time breeding there might not be that many. sounds hopeful though!

take them out and put them in a seprate tank or the parents will eat them. that might be anohter why there arent that many. only 6inches of water max or they will be crushed by the weight of it.

Hiya.

ive just had another look and they seem very stuck. they are small probably the same size as a pencil led and some seem a lil bigger. im not sure if its there first time because ive never new about breeding them before. but i dont think ive saw it b4. ive jus counted and theres around 15 of them. there a yellowy colour. or could it be fungi? I HOPE ITS EGGS THO!

if it was fungus it wouldnt be transparent. if the eggs have fungus take them out immediately, they will be kinda cloudy looking. try and take a photo and ask koko to post it so i can make sure it is eggs. 99% sure they are though. im so happy for you!!!!!

i posted this link in the breeding forum but i thought i would post it here since you were wondering...Click

thats a good link, dont think ive seen that one before! very informative

my eggs dont look that that on the page. they are stuck onto the bridge <_<

i think it mite be fungi instead of eggs

mine didnt look much like the one in the picture. bare in mind they have only just been layed and probably wont have embyos just yet. and that is a close up.

probably ur rite. ive put them in a seperate tank and im keeeeping my fingers very very very very very crossed!

how many times in a year do they normally lay eggs?

Thank u so much for helpin me

mine did it for about 2 months every week. but mine were in a pond. yours could be breeding every day!!!

kool!

I will keep u updated so keep lookin on this post

good luck!

I once had this goldfish and they were mating
but the male was so big and he was hitting him self
on the female the next day i found the female
dead she was all blue i felt so bad for her

im still kinda mad at the male but there;s nothing
i can do about it :angry:

Hi

i have 2 fish in a 2gallon tank. They keep on chasing each other
what dose this mean??? i dont know if they are female or male so can it be breeding or what????? they are about 7cm long dose that mean anything????oh and they keep on eating the plastic plants is this because they like the tast of plastic or is there food in there


HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
PPPPPPPPPPP

Hi sweetfishgal, and welcome 2 the board. you will get alot of info of here!

Well firstly how old are your fish?
they should be 3-4years to breed succesfully

Theres many reasons for chasing eachother

Breeding, fighting ...

I dont no why there eating the plastic plant.lol. theyre probly confused thinking its a real plant B) because mine eat my real plant.lol. maybe you could get a real plant? there not expensive

good look

sorry to break this to you but 1 gal per fish is majorly overstocked (mind you, i cant talk). the guideline is 10 gals per fish. answering your question, yes i do think your fish are breeding and i would say that they were probably eating the muck that has settled on the plastic or they could be eating their eggs which they have layed on the plants. have a look next time the chase eachother for some little yellowy dots all over the tank, especially on the plants. if you need any more help just ask.
