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.

How can I determine if my goldfish is pregnant?

Goldfish do not get pregnant like mammals do. Instead, female goldfish lay eggs that are fertilized by male goldfish. You can tell if a female goldfish is ready to lay eggs by looking for a swollen abdomen and a more rounded body shape. Additionally, the female may exhibit behaviors such as digging in the substrate or chasing other fish in the tank.


How do you tell if your tropical goldfish is an male or female?

There is very little sexual dimorphism between male and female goldfish. Male goldfish are generally more slender, because they lack ovaries. Female goldfish may have swollen abdomens. Unless you are a professional, it is not advised to breed goldfish at home, because they cannot lay their eggs due to selective breeding. The eggs must be squeezed out of the female, when they are ready.
