Smile Gold fish eggs HELP

Please help

I have three gold fish. I have had goldfish for many years, but over two year ago one died so i replaced it with two more goldfish.

Over the last few days the water has become dirty, like a white milky mist. I changed the water and it was fine for a few hours. the whent misty again. I came down this morning and i have eggs all over the tank. I now presume that i have two femail fish and one male.

I dont want baby fish, so do i remove the eggs? or leave them for the fish to eat (they have already started eating some)?

I have also notice the fish poo is black. I have never bread fish befor and dont really want to ...are there any sugestions to stop them doing this or is it a case of just removing the eggs when they are spawned?

Thanks

Very unusual in a tank, you must look after them extremely well

I would have thought they will eat them eventually, you may get one or two that go a miss, but in tanks theres filters, water changes and other hazards which means you probably won't end up with any offspring

My goldfish used to spawn in my pond all the time but the fish along with larvae etc just ate them all again and when i did take some out and hatched them, i raised them to a couple cm in size and released them and still none survived, lol

Think i will prob remove the eggs out the tank, as a googled it and said they could have fungus in them.

I was completely shocked when i saw them! Im not trying to bread them, and only just sexed them today cos i didnt even know what sex they were! Makes the tank very messy tho.
