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.
