Eggbound Goldfish? - Aquarium Advice

DepotFish · 10-06-2005, 08:08 PM

My goldfish hasn't layed eggs in months and looks rounded. Last year she layed eggs regularly every week from like July to the following April. She hasn't had a change in water type or tank/pond set up in years. She goes to the bathroom normally. I gave her some flake food soaked in castor oil a few weeks ago but it didn't do anything for her. Does anybody have advice?

Have you tried blanched pesa? How is your goldfish doing now?

Blanched peas you mean? She has peas once in a while. They give her the runs pretty badly but no eggs. She's fine other than this.

Yes, peas. I wondered if their was a blockage, but now see you said she produces waste just fine. I am not familiar with goldies, so I will change the title of the thread and see if any goldie keepers come out of the woodwork.
