The female will become very round and swollen with eggs. The male will develop white spots called "tubercles" on his gills and pectoral fins.

They are egg layers and don't come into or have "labour". They spawn (lay their eggs)as groups in springtime when the water warms up over 65F.

How can you tell if your female goldfish is ready to mate?

Goldfish usually come into spawning condition in springtime when the water temperature rises to around 65F. At this time the male Goldfish develop white spots on their gill plates and sometimes their pectoral fins and the females develop chubbier tummies than normal.

How can you tell if your female Goldfish and your male Goldfish are going to mate.?

The male goldfish will get white spots on it's gill cover, and the female will start looking swollen because she has eggs inside her. Sadly though, most times when goldfish mate, they eat their eggs and you will get no young. If you try many times though it will probably work! Hope this helps!
