😱 OH MY LORD !, I have never done this-TILL NOW

 For those that has or had goldfish, then you might know 
a little more then some or most of us, but if you wish to 
leave a comment, it never hurts to help others out with 
what ever info you can share is welcomed, thank you.

The photo of the stock tank I use for 9 goldfish no gravel
this stock tank is 4ft L X 3ft W X 2-1/2 ft DEEP IF FULL 
I Keep MINE About 2FT in water, so they don't jump out 
& since I NOW have a good screen over them & inside &
have better attendance to them & I get to enjoy them more.


Being I "had" my goldfish on my back deck & the temperature got over
90 Degrees & the tank water got up to 85, well I panicked & brought them inside
so that meant breaking down the tank & re-set it BACK UP AGAIN & being the 
way I have to haul water & fill tanks it takes most the day.

So when I went to go check on them there was this yellow-ish stuff
all over the matten filter I made for it about 2 weeks ago or so 
& 
when I seen we had a heatwave, I had to do something &
the race was on while we got a break in the temps I broke
into action & started rearranging a spot to put them.

My fish range anywhere from 4 to 8 inches, I've had them going on 2 yrs
& just like the rest of my pets their my babies & put a lot of $ in them
not to mention time & learning as I go & when I went to break the tank down 
& got to looking at what was on the filter pads & I took 1 off &  YEP 
SURE ENOUGH it's my 1st batch of goldfish eggs.

I'm not prepared to have a hatchery where I live, But being things have
away of working out somewhere down the road if you have faith in 
god almighty & that being said this was the whole Idea of raising 
goldfish on a budget & that's what I have been doing & well now 
it's moved to the NEXT LEVEL of breeding so I have a idea 
after I learn a little more about this subject for next time.

I watch a bunch of videos on goldfish & I learn  
a lot about raising goldfish, they are a awesome fish to have 
so I found this video about how to breed them, this is 
super easy when you want to make something out of it.


I have 2-110 gal stock tanks & I could start the fry in the 2nd 1
with as many as I seen, I could have saved at least a 100+ maybe 
you never know till you try right? well now I know my fish 
is old enough to breed & spawn, I'll be working on that next year.

I have what it takes to go after what I want in life & do my 
hardest to get it the best way I know how, till I get it . . . 
I'm hard headed when I set my mind to it, you can 
mark my words I'll get it done, cause God almighty 
tells me & shows me he has things working for me.

So when I say I'm going to do something I'm on it like a hot potato 
cause that's what life is all about, & being I've gotten to the point 
where my goldfish are spawning I'm TICKLED PINK about it.

I will see if what is in the stock tank will make it or not & if 
they do AWESOME POSSUM I won't have to take them out 
the next time cause I feed mine 2-3 X's  a day so they "shouldn't"
eat their eggs or fry & if they do then I'll have to be ready is all.
