HOW CAN YOU TELL A BOY GOLDFISH FROM A GIRL GOLDFISH???
In this non-gender-specific world we live in today, goldfish seem to blend right in. But, lo and behold the sexes CAN be identified sometimes by obvious, sometimes by subtle signs.
Male Goldfish -- USUALLY have "tubercules" raised dots, on their gill plates (hmm, is this "goldfish 'five-o'clock shadow?'") and also on the edges of their pectoral (front) fins. Sometimes they DON'T!! But they're still boy fish!! If they don't show any tubercules, observe them from the rear, and look for symmetrical hips, both sides (even if it is a round-bodied fish). Look for aggressive behavior usually the males are aggressive, but not always!! sweet feminine, female Sarassy was one of the "white sharks of the goldfish kingdom".
Female Goldfish -- the females usually have one hip bigger than the other (for stowing the eggs), and/or lumpy rear ends. Sorry fishgals Usually demonstrate sweet and feminine behavior honest, I'm not being sexist. Dainty at times so cute!!!!

First, sexing young and juvenile goldfish is virtually impossible, you have to wait until the fish reach breeding age (usually one year old). Second, sexing adult goldfish out of the breeding season is difficult, because the sexually distinguishing features only develop during the breeding season (in the spring time). That said, females may be deeper in the body than males. During the breeding season, the following physical features develop: males develop breeding tubercles (white pimples) on the gill covers and on the leading edge of the pectoral fins females develop a deeper body as they fill with roe (eggs), and have a larger vent (just before the anal fin) than the males.
