Help! Frisky Fish!

[lorenbruce87]

Hey
So, I have 3 fancy goldfish now.
all about a year old...
little did i realise what has happened!
i have separated one fish from the other two, i thought they were trying to kill it... harrasing it etc... anyway to cut a long story short i have sexed the two very dominant bully fish as male (obviously) :hmm3grin2orange: and the one on it's own... is alot smaller but i can't tell if it's a female.
i would love some baby fishies, however i don't know what to do now i've separated them all. any ideas would be really great!
many thanks

just to add...
i changed that water in both tanks... if they were ready to breed, have i ruined their chances?
could i put them back together and would they get back to business?
it appears they were doing all the normal chasing things, and they were also all bought together at the same time....
many thanks!!!

Water changes get fish in the mood to spawn.

the reason i initally changed the water is because i thought they were chasing the other fish as it was ill, possibly from the water. they were chasing her before the water change.
