OK I've had goldfish for a long time, and have actually been lucky enough to have them drop/deposit eggs a few times, but it has been a long time...now I have a new set of goldies in my classroom...the female spends most of the time chasing the male and nosing his rear...is she playing, is she trying to make, how old do they have to be? I just tell the kids they are playing chase...So I tank you in advance, and so do Romeo and Juliet, formerly known as the babies....

how big is the tank, what are your readings in annonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, sure you have sexed them right as it sounds more like a male chasing the female.

i may have goofed on the sexing...romeo could be juliet and juliet could be romeo....let's not tell the kids...water perameters are good...

I have noticed my fish occassionally doing that same "chasing" behaviour but no eggs. I would be interested to see if anything comes of your Romeo & Juliet...they have suitably amorous names so you never know.


BTW that you tell the kids they are playing chasings is PRICELESS! Makes me smile. Thumbs up to teachers and the great job they do!
