Hi there's something that they sell in aquarium shops, light green box, herbal remedy for fish (got chinese characters called, "cao yao" herbal medication) about $10-$15 per bottle (in box), they have something called fungus prevention, can be used for eggs also, u can see on the box. to prevent fungus attack. make sure use correct amount when you see the goldfish have laid eggs. the babies should have within 24 hours if i can still remember. yeah, the parents do eat up the eggs, so make sure you check them, if you can get some floating plants like water hyacinths (best Choice), the goldfish will be able to lay the eggs on the roots. BUT MAKE SURE YOU WASH THE WATER HYACINTHS CLEANLY BEFORE PUTTING THEM INTO THE TANK. once the goldfish had laid eggs, you may remove your water hyacinths into another tank, with no chlorine and you may add oxygen supply, airstone and the correct dosage of the fungus prevention medication into the tank. i had my goldfish lay eggs many years ago when i was a teenager. now aledy 25. so had the experience. last time don have the fungus medication, now they sell this so it's helpful, i used it when i was breeding my fighting fish (betta) last year, had alot of babies hatching from the eggs. if this time fail, your goldfish will soon lay eggs again. give them more live food like blood worms, blood worms better than tubifex worms. give them the amount they can eat, not to much till you have alot of blood worms at bottom of tank. i used water hyacinths when i had my goldfish, they laid the eggs on the roots, it's amazing, and had many babies later. the babies are very tiny, feed them with liquid food for fry (egg-laying fry) get from aquarium shop, don put too much, may kill them, make sure got air supply, not too strong at first, about 1 week later, give them baby brine shrimps, then about 1 month,give them daphnias till they are big enough for small tubifex worms. any further questions, just post them here
