There is no definite time that the goldfish stays pregnant but they carry the eggs until they are fertilized by the male. After release and fertilization, goldfish eggs hatch within two to seven days with the right water conditions and requirements. Goldfish breed depending on the water temperatures.
If the water temperature is regulated accordingly, they breed between 2 to 3 times a year or more, depending on where you live. Goldfish females lay up to eggs at once. However, not all the eggs are fertilized, therefore the number of fry will depend on the number of fertilized eggs by the male goldfish. To keep them safe, it is important to get a spawning mop to keep the eggs safe, and prepare a separate tank for the fry where you will transfer them into as soon as they are hatched.
Breeding goldfish can be a challenge for aquarists. However, the trick is to wait until they get to maturity and adjust water temperatures from cold to warm to trigger them.
