You can get a fry net or container from a pet store. I have the net and it wroks ok but trying to get the mama out with all the babies in it makes it difficult. Also you run the risk of the mama being ready to give birth again before the babies are ready to go into the tank. I’m not sure how they do with goldfish though. Good Luck! lamber26 2008-05-04
