Ack! I finally figured out why my water there keeps getting cloudy the next day even though I do series of water changes (mostly at night) and why my goldfish seem to "mow" the bottom of the tank. They were spawning and eating the eggs!:nilly: They were so small that I didn't even think they would spawn. I somehow overlooked the eggs because I don't normally squint around that floor level.lol I had a shrewd idea before Chimecho's fat appearance is because she could be full of eggs but I wasn't entirely sure because of her size. Added spawning mops and plants anyway.
Are these blue orandas? One I've always considered to be more bronze, but has the same characteristics as yours. The dark/silver one came second, and had to come home with me after seeing those fins.
Since I now have four mature fancy goldfish, how big are the eggs and what do they look like?
GM, I also received four more large orandas at 5-6" size with bulk at 2.5-3".
Harper and Chimecho were able to spawn yesterday releasing over 500 eggs. Saved less than half. I am tired of removing all the eggs especially as they stick in their places too hard. UGH! It's their second time spawning in a week.
