Do goldfish spawn at least once a year or so even if u dont condition them to breed or anything? Cuz i've never had any fish eggs, ever! And I really want some fry but my mom wont let me breed them so Im waiting for something to happen naturally but so far nothing has happened!!!

I didn't condition mine ..it just happened ..but I bought her full of eggs ..and a few days later..I had eggs ..now my newest fish is full of them .I just know it !!!..so there is a low pressure coming in and I'm gonna do a large waterchange and a few degrees lower to see if she'll drop them ..I do have eager males but she is in Q..so I can't put them together just yet...

They don't always span but if they do they could do it once or more

i sure hope they'll spawn sometime! I've been keeping fish for almost 2 years now and I thought they would've spawned by now! lol well actually i think i had some eggs in my tetra tank awhile ago at least they looked like eggs but Ish ate all of them except 3 but nothing ever hatched so i dunno if they were actually eggs....Sparky has been pretty fat though recently lol

Even some of the best breeders and "conditioners" in the goldfish world cannot guarantee that a fish or a group of fish will spawn each and every year - or even spawn ever! One of the prettiest fish I knew never did - and others wait for years. There was one perfectly gorgeous Bristol Shubie who waited 7 years and then, out of the blue, produced a wonderful set of babies - with many winners in the group. Go figure.

I guess what we learn from this is that all we can do is try to do our best. The fish and Mother Nature take care of the rest.

my friend had her goldfish in a bowl for 5 years (until I talked to her) and it laid eggs several tmes a year!! Maybe someday....
