I wonder what the age is for goldfish to reproduce? And water temperature...?


kept in optimum conditions a spring hatchling can reproduce in the fall, but
normally they don't reproduce until a year old. Water temps need to be between
60 and 80 for breeding and the eggs and fry need a steady 70 degrees.


Hmmm, if that was the case, they wouldn't reproduce in the UK, ever.
We're lucky to get a steady air temp or 70 degrees, let alone water temp.
