At that time, the female will be chased by males until she is completely exhausted. Only then will she release her eggs. If you leave the eggs in there, forget about 'em. You'll have a bunch of happy burping goldies, including the female, right after the feast they had on FRESH CAVIAR. I wrote an article about gathering the eggs and building an incubator tank. You might want to read it. Here's the lkink : http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/General%20Freshwater/67370.html?200512241246 Hoping that will be of some help to you / sister. Sponge  |
