They're Breeding!

[Big_eyes]

Randomly looked into our goldfish tank about ten minutes ago to see one of the goldfish firing eggs out like there is no tomorrow. I thought they had been acting strangely these last 2 days

I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything though as I don't have a tank to move the goldfish into once they've finished

what size is the tank? if its heavely planted some might be ok. Do you have a breeding trap you could put them into just untill there big enough to not get eaten.

It's only a small tank that they are in, it's usually my hospital tank. They've only been in there two days whilst I do a bit of a change around.

I've caught about 20 eggs and put them in a pot, being careful not to take them out of the water in the process. Most in the tank have or are in the process of being eaten.

How do I know if the eggs will be useless or actually carrying anything? I don't want to keep sitting looking at this pot all excited for a week only to come to a disappointment
