When the tiny fry appears it has an 
abdominal yolk-sac attached which fur- 
nishes the needed nourishment for the 
first week. When this has been absorb- 
ed the nest should be removed, as the 
fry is now free-swimming. Every 
morning during the second week the 
yolk of a hard boiled egg should be fed 
by filtering it through cheesecloth. At 
times this may putrefy in the water, so 
Daphma and Cyclops should be introduc- 
is an inclination to weakness, but the 
second consists of great numbers of eggs, 
about 40 per centum of the whole, with 
high fertility and strong fry. Spawns 
continue at intervals until weather con- 
ditions become unfavorable, but the 
numbers of eggs become less and the fry 
not so strong as those produced earlier 
in the season.

ed as scavengers, besides they are the 
best foods for the fry large enough to 
eat them. These natural foods, includ- 
ing Cypris and mosquito larvae, should 
follow the hard boiled yolk of the chick- 
ens’ eggs. 
When a month old the fry have well 
developed bodies and fins. The good 
specimens should be selected, the water 
changed, and each ten fish allowed a gal- 
lon of water. 
It is believed that a mature fish may 
produce about 110,000 eggs. Generally 
the first spawn is not large, and there 
Japan. He has had practical experience 
with K. Akiyama, whose goldfish breed- 
ing plant, in Tokyo, is the largest in the 
world, and is at present managing the 
plant of the Nippon Goldfish Co. 
Through Mr. Nakashima arrangements 
have been made to have photographs 
taken in Tokyo that will prove interest- 
ing to American goldfish Breeders.—
