I’m sending this on behalf of my colleague at Murdoch University. See below and I invite you to please respond.

Dear valued colleague,

I would be very interested to know your opinion on a Research Masters with Training (RMT) degree in your area of work.

A Research Masters with Training is designed for industry professionals keen to improve their knowledge and research skills, and will involve both structured postgraduate coursework and a research thesis, typically 18 months full time or 3 years part time.

Applicants should have a Bachelor’s degree and either 2 years’ full time professional experience, or undertaken a graduate course of at least 1 year full time study, or hold a four year degree. For more details see http://our.murdoch.edu.au/Research-and-Development/Resources-for-students/Future-research-students/Degrees-and-eligibility/Our-research-degrees/Research-Masters-with-training/.

This RMT degree will allow professional development in both the discipline of aquatic animal health as well as interdisciplinary areas such as epidemiology, biosecurity, food safety and public health. Please complete this short survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/RMT_MurdochU to register your interest.

Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this survey. Please contact me at S.Kueh, should you wish to discuss this further.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Kueh

Goldfish by nature are not aggressive, and are not predatory. The short answer would be, "No, they don’t eat each other". However, there are some circumstances where goldfish do eat each other. Goldfish tend to browse for food, eating mostly what are bite-sized morsels, of anything edible. But, if they happen to come across small fish (e.g. baby goldfish), they do not discern, and they will eat it if they can catch it.

At breeding time, goldfish produce hundreds of sticky eggs. Goldfish exhibit no parental care, and they will graze on the eggs, regardless of whether it is theirs. Similarly, those eggs that survive and go on to hatch, the baby goldfish will continue to fall prey to anything that is larger – be it other goldfish, or insects (e.g. dragonfly larvae).

Once goldfish are able to swim around, and are of adequate size (e.g. 2-3 centimetres), the rate of intra-specific predation drops dramatically.
