Goldfish Breeding, Part 1

Each year, as the days lengthen in spring, yellow maturity begin the process of egg production in females, and milt in males. Many of these changes are increasingly triggered by daylight and warmer water temperatures. The availability of increased food production in the form of bloodworm and mosquito larvae, if the goldfish live outdoors adds to the evolution of fish.

The changes that occur in goldfish include swelling of the general female, the eggs begin to grow, and the appearance of small bumps, or "root" on the edges of the pectoral fins, and the slip covers for men.

In warmer climates, May goldfish outdoor begin spawning at the end of April, but in most other areas, red fish begin spawning in May or June. In many cases, fry without apparent indications, especially if the fish are kept in a pond, and a mixed population. For fish kept in aquariums, the signs are present, if the fish is observed.

Spawning takes place early in the morning, usually just before sunrise. Spawning activity appears to be triggered by several factors, including: rain on the day preceding the spawning and a drop in water temperature a few degrees, partial water changes and a full or nearly full moon.

Spawning generally last several hours, and thousands to tens of thousands of eggs are laid, depending on the size of the female. Eggs are generally very small, round and sticky. Please see table below taken eggs in an aquarium interior, to get an idea of the size and remove shape.Please adult fish after spawning, if you want more babies. Adults eat fish eggs (and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia) after a spawn. Baby fish, once admitted, will not be eaten by fish red at maturity. Fish generally recognize babies once they reach ½ "to 1" in size.

The eggs hatch usually from 4 - 7 days, depending on water temperature. The fry are very small at the time of hatching, and food for the first 3 -5 days in the yellow bag attached. At hatching, and for a period of about two weeks after hatching, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia remains committed to the surface where the eggs were laid, or near the water surface. As their swim bladder begins to operate, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia will start swimming at different levels of the aquarium.

After the fry have depleted their yolk sacks, you should start to feed their food. Start foods can include: newly hatched brine shrimp, boiled egg yolk and infusorians. For people who have an outdoor pool, food can supplement the food that the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia is in the pond. For those who have housed the fish in an aquarium, food will be provided by the owner.

After a few weeks, crumbled flake food, small fry food, freeze-dried crumbled into the blood, daphnia and brine shrimp can be fed to fishing. During the early development phase, feed the fish several times a day (may-3 - 5 times a day) in small quantities. It is important to monitor water quality and make regular water changes, as certain foods (especially egg yolk) can lack of water.

Metal fish begin to color, which is to change the nature of the green, 2 - 3 months. For nacreous mat and fish, colors tend to deepen as the fish mature. More nacreous Matte fish and start out with a white color, with reds, blacks, oranges and blues developing age fish.

If you are raising fry breeding or show, you should select the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia that meet characteristics that you have established in your breeding. Fry with deformities such as missing fins, tail tripod (in the case of two varieties tail), and other physical defects can be eliminated or given starting at 6 - 7 weeks. The practice of selecting fish with certain characteristics, is known as the "slaughter".

A second slaughter may occur at 8 - 10 weeks and will focus on color and adherence to high standards. 3rd slaughter may be done 3 months, when most fish will begin to meet the special races, such as growth of the head, eyes, development, pearl and scales. It is not uncommon for only 5 - 10% of a rogue to stay third after the slaughter. While some people oppose the idea of giving fish spawn or slaughter, goldfish will not thrive in crowded conditions. The practice of reducing the population size is necessary for goldfish development and quality.

That approach fish 2 - 3 months of age, try to feed a larger percentage of live animals, frozen or freeze-dried food. Increasing the protein content in food is necessary for growth and head pearl scales in particular. Avoid food supply floating, which, while good for koi, and not very useful for red fish, especially the double-bodied fish tail. Continued feeding of food because the floating goldfish to ingest large quantities of air, May and disturb fish balance. Sinking pellets or granules of food can be fed at 2 -3 months as a supplement to live or frozen foods.

For those interested to make their own food, several goldfish food recipes are available, both online and GFSA (Goldfish Society of America) articles. Books such as The Goldfish Guide by Matsui also included revenue home.

A final culling can be achieved in six months, which will be conducted to select fish to grow and survive the winter. This selection will be based on a combination of compliance with standard guidelines, color and overall confirmation. At the end of the 4th slaughter, it is likely that only 1 - 2% of laying remain, and that the fish selected will be exceptional.
