Hi can anyone please post a picture of a "Ripe""Twit" Goldfish please. I've been searching this on the net, but unfortunately can't find any.:help:
 
I believe you may be using some fake slang terms for an egg-laden goldfish. There are a few websites, email chains and ill-researched magazine articles that have claimed a "pregnant" goldfish is called a twit, a twerp, or described as "ripe." None of these terms are ever actually used.
Not to mention that goldfish cannot get pregnant, because they are egg-layers. An egg-laden fish will be thicker in the midsection, but it's very difficult to tell unless you have experience breeding goldfish.
 
lol yea, i dont know what to call "pregnant goldfish". it's really hard to find a picture of what im looking for. can anyone please post a picture. im having difficulty identifying my goldfishes if they're ready to lay eggs.

thanks flaringshutter for the info. btw, i read your thread about spawning goldfish. GREAT JOB man! i loved it! the frys are awesome and the pics. sorry about your first batch of frys man.
 
Lol, FS is not a man :p:


And the only ting I notice about my goldies before they spawn is they get a little bit fatter, but it's hard to tell since they're in my pond.
