Do Goldfish Eat Their Young

Yes! Years ago, we had goldfish in the pond and we were horrified to note that the parents ate their own children! Place the spawning parents in a screen so that the baby fry can swim out to safety but not the voracious parents.

Yes, goldfish do eat their own eggs and young if left within the tank or pond.
The adult fish are separated after the spawning process and the eggs attach to the tanks or artificial setup they are in.

yes, especially the eggs
when you are trying to breed make sure that you have
more than enough plants to hide in
even though parents eat eggs and fry you will still probably have more than enough babies (a female can lay tens of thousands
of eggs at one spawning)
Good Luck

yes they also eat their own eggs, best way to preserve that eggs and hatchlings is to remove the parents after spawning
