Think goldfish are spawning

[kpromero]

Yesterday morning I went by my pond to feed and I had 6 of my goldfish attacking another one. They were near my lilies and were not leaving the 1 alone. Have a video but not sure how to put on here.

Post it on you tube then link it.

You did just right. yep that is spawning. the white one with the red face is the female. Got a lily pot full of eggs! Nice goldies BTW! Really clear water too!

Nice video, Did you see the little white bumps on the gills of the males?

im just wondering how do people get their goldfish to have such vivid colors like that?, i mean your fish are stunning!!

congratulations fish parent! Those are nice goldies and clear water.

Thanks all, I took this with my phone. I looked around the lillies but did not see anything on them. Also the one with the bumps I tried to medicate 3 times but they are not coming off of him. I have salt in water also. Do you all think I may need to try to get another female since it looks like I have 6 males?

I thought mine were dying when I first saw it.

(warning, it's a bit racy, and pardon the siren, I live in a city neighborhood 5 blocks from the fire station though it's usually pretty quiet)

This was from June of 2010 I think.

And here's a tamer one of the koi. I've had this pair for 10 years and never saw any "action" but it could be that there were too many fish in the pond, after culling them in 2009, this happened in 2010. (trying to clear the green water, ugh)

kpromero, the bumps are breeding tuberceles and means the fish is ready for spawning. It's not disease.

He has had these for a couple months now. They started small but are a little bigger now. They have some near the back tail also.
