Hi all, I am in England an have had a garden pond for three years with
goldfish but never had babies. I have noticed this morning that one of
the goldfish looks pregnant and is constantly followed by another. Does
this mean she is pregnant and if so, how do I stop the babies being
eaten as I guess this is what will happen???? Or, do I separate the
goldfish so the babies cant be eaten??


Since goldfish are egg layers, it would be hard to see any swelling from
being egg laden. Look at the fish, see if possibly is dropsy. There are
plenty of websites on goldfish dropsy, so a few minutes of googling will get
you all the answers.
