Goldfish don't get pregnant, they lay eggs.
If yours looks pregnant, it probably has bloat. It's a fatal disease, look it up on the internet. It's important to take that fish out of the tank so the others don't get sick.
Goldfish are very difficult to breed in home tanks. I'm thinking the goldfish is not long for this world, sorry.

Like at least 2 other people have said, goldfish don't get pregnant since they are egg layers. If she is full of eggs she may get a little swollen though but you can really only tell from the top down. Females can lay eggs without a male being in the tank but if that happens make sure to remove them so they don't get covered in fungus.

Including the fact that goldfish aren't pregnant they do however lay eggs that then need to be seeded by a male fish.

My goldfish, 'Smiley', was pregnant and she was so happy she would blow bubbles, swim and skip through the water. She had a big belly and gave birth to quads.

They lay eggs. Females get really round when they are carrying eggs and males have white pimples on their gills.but they are about 1or 2 years old when this happens

you will see them getting a fat belly. It takes about 2 month before they get there little ones and you should separate later on the female from the others and as soon as the babies are born, separate them as well from the mother, because she may eat them
