Goldfish are not live bearers, but rather females spawn and males fertilize the eggs. Oh yes, 5 will become 30 and 30 will become 180 and so on...........
If you feed your fish, stop feeding them when you observe signs of spawning activity and they'll eat the majority of their eggs......population control.
