This will certainly depend on what you mean by irritated. If the fish is swimming quickly and flashing or rubbing against things in the tank, this can be a sign of parasites. It can also be a problem with the water quality, so this should be tested to check for the levels of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates which should be 0, 0, and less than 10 respectively; if it is higher, you should do a 50% to 75% water change.

What is the difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant?

The difference between dropsy and a goldfish being pregnant is that dropsy is a fatal condition caused by poor living conditions or an internal bacterial infection. This usually results in the body filling with fluid thus causing the fish to appear bloated. When goldfish get ready to spawn a female may appear slightly bloated or thick-bodied in accompaniment of the eggs in her abdomen. Goldfish use external fertilization to reproduce so therefore a pregnant goldfish is impossible. In general, if the fish is acting rather sluggish and is staying at the bottom, or if they start looking like a pine cone, (raised scales) it is probably dropsy.
