Take a look at their vent, where they poo from. If it looks like it is sticking out a little bit then it is most likely a female, if it is flat or kind of goes in then it is most likely a male. Here is a link with pics, http://www.bristol-aquarists.org.uk/goldfish/info/sexing-fs.htm
They both have an anal fin and they do breed in tanks.

There are several ways.
Male goldies get breeding stars on their gills. Females tend to be a bit fatter. When they're ready to breed, their vents are differently shaped. here's a great article on sexing goldfish.

the male will have a small fin under his belly. but since they dont breed in a tank , it probably wont matter which one you get. but they are fun to have and to watch.
