Goldfish Fry

[yeh_buddy]

My three goldfish that I had previously thought to have been three girls have surprised me and ended up spawning, twice. :facepalm: First time was last week and again today. Previous batch have all hatched and are currently a week old. I've never had goldfish spawn on me or needed to raise goldfish fry. I am feeding them a combination of Liquifry, brine shrimp and infusoria. Plan on bumping it up to Micro worms just need to know when. There doesn't seem to much info on the net, so if anyone can help me by telling me what I can expect in terms of growth/development (i.e stages) that would be great. I am aware of the need of clean water, aeration and the standard requirements that all fry require just not so sure on if Goldfish require anything special, as I've never breed them or had them surprise me before. :nilly:

Thought I would also attach pics of parents and fry- there is about forty from the first batch. :bounce:

Once they go free swimming feed them with newly hatch brine shrimp 4-5 times a day. Don't need liquidfry or infusoria.

I just use live daphnia, Once the fish are free swimming they are big enough to eat the babies and they will stay on daphnia and occasionally ground up flake food until they are large enough for bloodworms.
