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.

∙ 14y agoThere are a few ways to tell the gender of a goldfish. If they are 'of age' and your willing to watch them for a while, usually you can tell because the male will chase around the female and push her rump. If you do happen to see them doing this, I would recommend putting a few plants in for them to hide behind because if this happens to often, it can damage your little girls fins. :( Another way, (A little more complicated and not and accurate, but it can give you a good guess) Is by their tail shape. Females tend to have more of a U shape in their tales while boys have a V shape. But, it doesn't really matter, unless your trying to breed.

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.
