You can tell the age of a fish from the number of growth rings on each of its scales. Each pair of rings represents a year. The dark narrow rings represents winter; the wider, lighter rings represents summer.

Its quite easy to tell the difference between the genders of fish. First, on there underbelly, there is something called haytorice, it either holds a penis, or the fish has a vagina and thus has no haytorice. Men fish generally eat other fish, if they refuse to have sexual intercourse with the fish bowl.

yes because the fish scales tend to look cleaner and newer when the fish is younger. when the fish is older, the scales look gray and dull.

Know this because: I am a very goldfish owner ^-^

Look at the scales - every line indicates a year, like the lines of tree trunk.

It is only with years of experience that an aquarist can judge the age of many fish species. Zebra Danios are fully grow at 4 to 6 months old and only live about 3 years or so, so it is a bit difficult to tell how old they are.
