You should see that the female goldfish appears fatter than usual due to the eggs she is carrying. The male will have white spots on his front fins and gill covers and will pay the female a lot of attention chasing her around the tank or pond.
Spawning is breeding goldfish
the difference beteen a male and a femal is at the breeding seson the femles ovals are larger then usal and in the breeding seson the male get white spots all around its fins these represent male
getting more goldfish in your tank
by the presence or absence of breeding tubercles/stars, by the vent/anus shape, by the body shape, and by observing breeding behavior.
To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing as a 'Tropical Goldfish' Goldfish (Carassius auratus) are coldwater fish. They can only be sexed when in breeding condition when only the males develop white spots on their gill plates.
Year round, but especially in Spring for pond goldfish.
You can not do it. Goldfish can only be sexed when they are capable of breeding and during the breeding season. At this time the adult male fish develop small white spots on their gill plates and pectoral fins and the females get a bit chubbier. These are the only visible differences between male and female goldfish.
yes, but some of them will get eaten by the adult goldfish.
Before I tell on a goldfish, I try to work the problem out with the goldfish. If I cannot work out the problem, I generally tell the goldfish's Mother or Father in person.
In breeding season the males develop white spots on their gill plates. The females become plumper around the abdomen.
Sexing Goldfish outside of the breeding season is extremely difficult. In the breeding season males develop small white pimples (breeding tubercles) on their gill covers and along the edge of their front fins (pectoral fins). Females are generally more rounded and deeper in body shape as they fill with roe (eggs) and have a larger vent before the anal fin.
