Goldfish babies or fry are very cute. Retention fry takes some planning and a limited bit more attention from your part. Do not worry, it is not a hard thing to do and if you know everything about your fish everything will come to be a lot easier.
If you have done everything correctly in the first step, breeding goldfish, you should not have all the eggs spread everywhere in the tank. All your eggs should be in one place, on the "spawning mop". Creating a "spawning mop" is the easiest way to fetch all the eggs laid by the female goldfish and move them into the "Fry Tank". There you will keep the eggs until they hatch and grow up enough to put them into the main aquarium. This way you make shore that your eggs will not be eaten by your goldfish.
Baby Food
So what you do is to move the "spawning mop" into the Fry Tank. You need 20% of the water from the main tank so that you populate the Fry Tank with wholesome bacteria and start the cycling process. It is best for the Fry Tank to be next to the man tank.
To make sure your eggs will hatch in 3-4 days use a heater to keep the climatic characteristic garage at 70 degrees F. Out of hundreds of eggs only few will hatch. Once they hatch make sure you remove the egg shells and cloudy eggs from the tank. This way you will undoubtedly spot the dead goldfish babies later.
Feeding the goldfish babies
Once the fry hatch, you need to keep in mind to feed them in the first 48 hours only liquid food. This is specially designed for them. Goldfish babies eat more than adult goldfish because they need to grow.
At 2 weeks you can feed them newly-hatched brine shrimps, insuforia and cooked egg yolks. They will love it. You can buy the eggs at shops. In the first 15 weeks you can feed them 3 times a day what they can eat in 2 minutes. After that you can feed them regular wholesome food you feed your adult goldfish.
This way your goldfish babies will come to be happy and wholesome adults.
