No. Those dots are called the Lateral Line. It is a series of sensors that lets goldfish feel changes in water currents. The Lateral Line lets schools of small fish stay together, even turning in the same direction almost simultaneously. Sometimes the fish can even sense the movement in the water that means a larger fish is sneaking up on them from behind!

A simple answer for telling goldfish genders apart?

How could you tell if a goldfish is a female?

Unlike humans, telling the gender of a goldfish actually takes some knowledge. Do not pay attention to the color or the fins. Female goldfishes are actually bigger than the males (especially with their eggs). Males have mid-line ridges on their undersides. With all these in mind, the easiest way to tell is by their spawning time. The female opening will be bigger and heavier.
