how to solve this problem

My adult short tail Ryukin and Ranchu . Total 11 pcs keeping taking turn laying eggs on the tank base. Almost every day . I has tried put some floating plant but they still lay on the tank base.
It foul the water.

I has to water change daily and sucking out the eggs using the hose is
difficult because it is sticky.

Any better solution . Or how to stop them layiong eggs .Thanks

bro, unfortunately don't think there's a way unless you separate the males and females.

You can't stop their egg laying process, that's nature but don't worry just don't feed for that day and they will eat up most of it at the end of the day. Water will stink and bubble for 24 hrs, after that if your filtration is good enough, your bbs will convert the excess nutrients back to harmless nitrate. I never bother to vacuum the eggs myself and perhaps if you are concerned about water quality just do a 50% w/c but sometimes by doing that you'll stimulate more egg laying, haha. Best solution is still to have better filtration or keep only males in future

I agreed with you. On that day the water really stink and bubble because of high protien in eggs. The fish will eat up the eggs. I have about 20 kg of Bio Ring and 4 kg of CC and some mech. wool. But In term long term solution is no good to the filtration . Water Change on that day still the best workout.
But the next day , another goldfish lays again.
Never end leh. That make me stress.
Also Got most of the fish young. Difficult to determind their sex . Until they are adult size.
Thanks

With that amount of bio, your filtration should be very good already, I don't think it will cause any problems so long not the eggs are going into it and develop fungus. Mine, after 2 days of filtration there are no trace of any eggs laying activities but I still do a 50% w/c as a precaution.

That's why I only picked male when I was keeping goldfish.

look at the bright side, water is good and optimum for fishes to lay eggs, u should be happy.
