How to breed Goldfish?
How to tell the difference between Male and female goldfish as I would like to breed and what items would you need to help breed
Thanks kiasu. I will tell my 12 year old about putting her fish in a sexie pair of pants and taking some pics ?? lol. She went onto my username and asked a few questions last night. I actually know how to sex them but I was at work when she wanted to know hehehe. KIDS !
Show them a photo of a goldfish dressed up in sexy undies and and see if any of them respond to it…
Or, You could follow this advice I found on the web:
Want to be able to tell the sex of your Goldfish? At one glance, they all look the same right? Wrong! If you want to breed goldfishes, you better not have all males in the tank.
Following are some methods that can be used to recognize the sexes but even these are useless unless the fish are at least a year old, I.e., have attained sexual maturity.
-
Midline ridge: male goldfish have a ridge running through the back of pelvic fins to their vent opening on the underside. The ridge is either completely missing or smaller in females.
-
Firmness of abdomen: The area between pelvic and anal fins is pliable for females but very firm for males.
-
Shape of the vent: Though difficult to figure out, the female vent is rounder and convex, whereas the male vent is thinner and concave.
-
Shape of the pectoral fins: Male pectoral fins are pointed with stiffer leading ray and female pectorals are rounded, shorter with finer front fin ray.
-
Features: females are brighter colored and are more active. This could be a difficult way of pointing out a female but you could try!
-
Check out: One theory says that you can introduce a known female into the tank and watch for the reaction of fish. Males will check out the new fish but the females will show no interest!
The only way you can learn to spot male and female goldfish is by closely observing known males and females and noticing their various traits. A pet shop could be a nice place to learn this.
During spawning season it will be easier because the male will follow and nudge the female relentlessly sometimes even bruising and injuring the female. Finally, it’s only your experience that will give you any degree of confidence of judging the sexes by looking at them in a tank. Difficult but definitely not impossible!
