== == 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.

How do you tell a female goldfish from a male goldfish?

The easiest way to tell the difference is that the males may get what are called breeding stars on their gill plates during breeding season. The breeding stars look like small white bumps.This is not always the case though, and sometimes the only way you know is by seeing the female drop eggs, or the male fertilizing the eggs.
