Are these gold fish eggs ?

Your right, @AdoraBelle Dearheart , pics are not clear enough to give any definitive answer. I was just explaining to you why I thought there may be some jelly like substance.

Ah, to me, it looks like a single egg, with a developing embryo in it. But, I'm way overdue for an eye exam and new glasses, and the photos aren't the clearest either.

Your eyes are fine, the pics have a single egg with developing embryo in.

Then I need to get my new glasses checked. Lol! Goldfish eggs are round balls. Are these round balls? I’m just not seeing them, I guess.

 

[Colin_T]

yes they are round. If you click the image it should open up on the entire page. Then you can use the + sign to make it bigger.

 

[FishGuest5123]

Maybe because I use my IPhone. They should be born in the next day or so if water’s not too cold and they are goldfish eggs.

Look like goldfish eggs to me. Could be koi. Carp eggs!!

They are eggs about 100 have hatched yesterday and still about 200+ to go do I feed them once they are free swimming or do I wait till they have all hatched and are all free swimming need a little advice on what to feed them and how to care for them as much advice as possibly would be helpful

 

[FishGuest5123]

Start feeding on day 3 after born. Are they in a tank? Parents removed?

 

[Whatfish]

I have them in a 40L tub the parents and still in there main tank do I feed them 3 days after the first one hatched or 3 days after they all have hatched

 

[Whatfish]

Will I be ok to keep some 3week old bristlenoes fry in the same tub as the goldfish fry to help keep the food of the bottom ?

 

[Colin_T]

Feed them as soon as they start swimming around.

The following link has information about culturing food for baby fish. It's too late to make green water and infusoria but it does have a section on boiled egg yolk, under the heading "Emergency Fry Food". I would use that as a start and if you can get to a pet shop, buy some powdered fry food for egg layers. You can sprinkle a small amount of that on the surface and the fry will pick at it in conjunction with the boiled egg yolk.

After a couple of weeks on egg yolk you can add newly hatched brineshrimp.

Back to Basics when Breeding Fish

STARTING OUT Make sure you have a pair, (1 male + 1 female). There is nothing worse than spending your hard-earned dollars buying a couple of fish to try and breed and ending up with a pair of fish of the same sex. Let's face it, to reproduce fish you need a male and a female. Two males won't do...
