. Japanese goldfish, their varieties and cultivation; a practical guide to the Japanese methods of goldfish culture for amateurs and professionals. Goldfish. IV—THE PARENT FISH, THE EGG-LAYING, AND THE HATCHING. The Care, Selection, and Mating of the Brood Fish jISH from which it is expected to get eggs at the next spawning time are given special attention in autumn, and are then provided with an abundance of suitable food so that they may begin the winter in a robust state and emerge therefrom in the best possible condition. Another reason for promoting the physical well being of the fish particularly in the autumn preceding spawning is that they may then develop their colors and shape most fully and give the culturist the best information as to the possibilities of his brood stock. The spawning season extends from the latter part of March to the middle of June, but April and May are the chief months. The time when particular fish lay their eggs may be controlled to a certain extent. Fish that are given sufficient food and retained in stagnant water will have their spawning retarded or altogether inhibited; while fish that are exhibiting the symptoms of approaching spawning may be made to deposit their eggs within one or two days if they are given S3.
