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.

The male goldfish will get white spots on it's gill cover, and the female will start looking swollen because she has eggs inside her. Sadly though, most times when goldfish mate, they eat their eggs and you will get no young. If you try many times though it will probably work! Hope this helps!


How can you tell that a fan tail goldfish is male or female?
