How can u tell the gender of ur goldfish

Question

i just wanna know because i have 5 goldfish and i dont know if i should be expecting more or not

Answer 1

well when they chase each other the male will be the chaser and often the the male will bump into the female, the male normally has a white spot on the gills  

Answer 2

It's difficult to tell with goldfish, but if they are in an aquarium, generally you don't have to worry about expecting more, unless it's a large aquarium.  A pond is best for breeding.

Answer 3

the prettier ones are the girls :)

Answer 4

They have to be of breeding age for you to tell for sure.

Here's a website I don't know if you've looked at it before but it has some good info:

There is no way you can actually fin out what the gender is of a fish. My step dad breeds fish and he can't tell either. sorry

Answer 7

You can't tell until they are aroung 2-3 years and closer to breeding season. Males will get little white spots (tubercles) on their gill plates and pectoral fins. Females are generally more broader bodies than males.
