can you help me tell the gender of my goldfish?

Question

it's a bubble eyed goldfish and i wanted to know the gender of it can you tell me?

Answer 1

Firstly, sexing young and juvenile goldfish is virtually impossible, you have to wait until the fish reach breeding age (usually one year old).

Secondly, 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.

Physical sexual characters
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

Answer 2

The most reliable characteristics are the breeding tubercles and vent appearance. These are only present when the fish is over a year old and in spawning condition. Here's a link with photos: http://www.bristol-aquarists.org.uk/goldfish/info/sexing-fs.htm

Answer 3

Here are ways to tell the gender.

Female goldfish have rounder bulgier bodies while males have elongated slender bodies.

Males have brighter colors than females.

Males have longer tails than females.

Males are more graceful and look more like females than females.
