Is my comet courting?

[TheRealAndyCook]

He keeps bumping his head on the bottom of another until the other swims away or he gets board.

However, when i put my hand to the tank they all swim ontop of each other tho trying to get to my hand, so I don't know if they're just being playful...or what

The oldest is probably a year. maybe less.

I can't tell what that is a picture of, an egg? Fish poo?

Well, have you noticed white spots on the gill plates and front pectoral fins of the comet?

male goldfish grow white spots on the gills when in breeding behaviour.......They chase the female around the tank/pond until she farts out eggs........Goldfish are egg eaters......The best way to collect the eggs is to place a "breeding mop" inside the tank....Essentuially, a breeding mop is a peice of stringy mop material tied down on one end by a rubberband.......the fish swim through this thing and eggs are caught on it......The fry will hatch within 3 days under 75 degree temperature......Feed the fry baby brine shrimp untill about 3 weeks old.Then, you can start them on crushed flakes........

it doesn't look like there is any more white then normally, both my older comets dont have any white on the gills.

a few little white blotch on the bottom of my tank, like in the photo, but It could just be impurity's from there food.

Is the tank in a sunny area? Because they usually spawn in the Spring, so natural light in the spring can induce them. If you have artificial light, it's very possible.
