when is the best time to breed goldfish?
i hear it is at the beggining of summer but my fish have done nothing, i am hoping to cross a black moor with a shubunkin because these are my favorite breeds of goldfish

does anyone have any tips for me?

i have never bred goldfish before and would love to give it a go

Here have a read of this its all about breeding

does any of your goldfish have little white spots than its a male they spawn during the spring u might need a heater to make it warmer and u need a biger tank like a 30 gallon.

i know that my common goldfish Goujon is a male, (2 years ago he was chasing a female comet around) but i am not sure about the others
a few months ago my shubunkin toscar (died) was chasing the others around but none of my fish have shown these breeding spots

my commons do the same i need to look for those white spots!!!

mine don't but i think it takes a couple of months till u see them.

my fish have the breeding stars but i have yet to see any chasing going on yet and it already october hmmm
here is detailed pic of breeding stars i circled the area's

Thank you, Jillian, for the very nice illustration.

np i just thought it would help ppl to see what the breeding stars look like on a male gf my prob is i have a male with breeding stars in october but no female full of roe yet hmm very weird

A way to help you see breeding stars - particularly ones on the pectoral fins - on a fish with recedeing stars or a younger fish or a fish that is of a lighter color, is to take a flash light. Shine the light at an angle onto the fish's fins.

The breeding stars will shine - kind of an irridencent sheen - and you can see them in the light better.
