Goldfish, like all cyprinids, lay eggs. They produce adhesive eggs that attach to aquatic vegetation. The eggs hatch within 48 to 72 hours, releasing fry large enough to be described as appearing like "an eyelash with two eyeballs". Within a week or so, the fry begin to look more like a goldfish in shape, although it can take as much as a year before they develop a mature goldfish color; until then they are a metallic brown like their wild ancestors. In their first weeks of existence, the fry grow remarkably fast - an adaptation born of the high risk of getting devoured by the adult goldfish (or other fish and insects) in their environment.

lLive Birth dear, Hope this advise will help.
Goldfish thrive in large tanks or outdoor pools supplied with clean, well-aerated water kept at a temperature of 18° C (65° F). Their optimum diet is a mix of weeds, worms, small shellfish, and insects. Under such conditions they breed several times a year.
