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.

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.

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.
