The new-born Goldfish babies will feed on their egg sack for 2 to 3 days. When the egg sack has vanished, it is time to offer them fry foods.

How to setup Goldfish fry tank?

It is important to setup Goldfish fry aquarium. A sponge filter is one of the best filters for fry tanks because it offers excellent biological filtration. Ordinary filters suck fish fries, & you will find them dead inside the filter intake. Sponge filters do not suck fish babies & fries can eat the leftover food attached to the sponge. When fish fries develop a bit, it is important to setup a large aquarium for them because they will need enough space for swimming.

Goldfish fries eat a lot which means they produce heaps of poop. Therefore, ensure that your sponge filter is running all the time for processing fish waste, uneaten food & other impurities that will otherwise spoil water.

Setup fry tank temperature b/w 70 to 75 ˚F. Maintaining temperature within safe limits will improve the immunity of Goldfish fries.
