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.

Also if the female is not pregnant she tends to be a duller color and the male a brighter color because that way the male attracts females and the female wont attract predators when she is protectecting her eggs.

There is no obvious visible difference between the sexes of goldfish except when they are ready to breed. At this time, the males develop white spots on their gill plates and sometimes on their pectoral fins too. The females just get a chubbier tummy than usual.

The only time when there is a visible difference is in breeding season when the mature males develop small white pimple like spots on their gill plates and sometimes their pectoral fins. The females just get a bit chubbier than normal around their tummy area.

How many eggs do comet fish lay?

Comet goldfish usually lay between 500-5,000 eggs. The reason why they lay so many is because goldfish eggs, and fry, have high mortality rates. Having so many eggs ensures that at least some of the goldfish fry will reach adulthood.
