- Q: I got a male and female goldfish and i think they r in love!They are both 2 inches and i have a 1 inch crayfish in a medium plastic tank. I want to see if i can mate the goldfish.Plz help me!!PetsLover9
- A: Goldfish are sexualy mature when they are around 4-8 inches depending on the fish.The breeding season is in the spring. The male develops breeding tubercules which are white bumps on his head and the female lays eggs and scatters them. They will eat their own eggs so it is advisable to have plants in the bottom.Also, your "medium plastic tank" is not big enough for goldfish. Goldfish can get at least 10 inches long and some can get to a foot. Your goldfish will die sooner or later if it is not housed in an appropriate sized tank (I suggest 55 gallons minimum for your 2 goldfish)

- A: No you don't have to remove the fathers. Although some fish will eat the eggs if there isn't anything else to eat, keep them well fed and you really shouldn't have a problem.P.S. I have never removed the fathers from my rats either and I have never lost a baby rat. It depends on the rats.
