I need help with some goldfish fry?
I’m fairly new to keeping goldfish, I’ve had them for perhaps 6 months. My two goldfish just had babies, and apparently they’ve already hatched as I see about 20 little fry clinging to the side of my tank. I’m not sure what to do at this point and am having a hell of a time finding information on the net. I think I should move the fry to a new tank so they bigger ones don’t eat them. I also don’t want my goldfish to spawn again. What do I do?
There will be no flushing or fire extinguishers used, as for you rockstar I think you may be confused. I know they have eggs, I believe it’s fairly obvious from my post as I mentioned something about hatching. As for the fry swimming freely, they tend to cling to plants or the tank until the third or fourth day in which case they will begin to swim. I suppose I’ll just let the goldfish eat this batch of eggs and fry until I’m ready to actually handle them.

Make sure you have a place for them to hide, like a plant or other object. It is good to have some small food for them to eat but if there is algae in the tank it is not necessary. If your tank is large enough and the fish are kept fed there is a smaller chance that the parents will eat them.

don’t fry them, just flush them down the toilet!

This sounds strange…
Goldfish lay eggs for one. And two… what do you mean they are clinging to the side of the tank? If they’ve hatched they should be swimming around the tank… Not stuck to the side :/.
I think your confused…
