Nice advice blackbrother, however you got a typo on the minimum temperature. It should read 110.68 degrees, and that, of course, is Farenheit. Actually, Elizabeth K is right again. Not surprising. An additional help: when the female goldfish is ready to spawn, her vent will be slightly swollen and convex copared to a male's concave vent. And since it is an egg-layer, it won't get pregnant. The correct term is ripe, and I think Rambolin tried to say so, but typo'd in the first sentence.

Answer 3

pay no attention to anyone who agrees it's pregnant. goldfish do not get pregnant. you've mentioned it is a comet, which shows you know something already. i can see two possibilities:
1. it's carrying eggs, ready to spawn
2. you're feeding it a food too high in fat (E.G. goldfish get fat if fed tropical fish flakes or pellets)
if they're in a pond outside, they're more likely to breed due to the changes in daylight and temperature. leave them be.

Answer 4

You really dont need to do anything. It is most likely pregnant but it could also be getting chubby. Are you sure it is a female? Because my brothers fish was very small, then grew up and he is one FAT goldfish.

Answer 5

i would get a spawning mop. if you dont know what that is, research.

basically, the goldfish will swim though it and can release their eggs and breed in it.

But remember, fat fish dont always mean pregnant fish, but if they are pregnant a spawning mop is the way to go.

Answer 6

.Goldfish do not get pregant,. They lay eggs. There is probibly eggs in the female. It could also just be the case theat the fish is fat. Goldfish do get fat and have large tummys., Some times the male will chase the female about knocking her about and ramming her, This is normall.
