subject: Goldfish Spawning At Home [print this page] If the eggs are left in with the goldfish, the majority of them will be eaten. In cases where you want to maximize the number of fry (baby fish) from the goldfish spawning: Remove the eggs after the male has milted (fertilized) them and immediately rinse the eggs in water over 70F, then place them into a separate aquarium that will be kept at the same temperature.
