Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / June 2007What's up with these fish?
I just started a small tank which holds 2 goldfish, 1 gold, the larger of the two and 1 smaller black one he/she looks like a black molly. The larger of the fish spends pretty much of his/her day chasing and nudging the black one. As of late, there has been alot of rubbing up against each other as well..The gold one is almost in a frenzy when the black one hides out from him (or her) Then they'll get earily quite and hang out together in a corner of the tank. I should mention that the black one does not have any bite marks or pieces missing from his fin. Could they be mating? How long is the gestation period? What do the babies look like? thanks debby GF lay eggs. males nudge females to lay, then release sperm. how small is the tank and how are your water parameters? http://weloveteaching.com/puregold/care/care.htm >I just started a small tank which holds 2 goldfish, 1 gold, the larger of >the two and 1 smaller black one [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >thanks >debby ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List Manager: Puregold Goldfish List at http://weloveteaching.com/puregold/ sign up: http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?hl=en&q=puregold&qt_s=Group+lookup www.drsolo.com Solve the problem, dont waste energy finding who's to blame ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I receive no compensation for running the Puregold list or Puregold website.
