Answer 1

First turn your filter off. Goldfish lay eggs, the girl dumps some eggs, and the boy makes the eggs develope.

Answer 2

first of all, if someone at the petstore told you the fish were male and female, that is false information. there are ways to find out, though not that easy here is a link on how to sex goldfish:

second, if they are the breedable, are they sexually compatable?
Just because they may be the opposite sex does not mean they WILL breed. link to breeding goldfish:

and further info on what to do to raise fry (baby goldfish)

Answer 3
