How do you determine if a GOLDFISH is a male or female?

Question

Make your answers worth reading!

Answer 1

When spawning the male will develope white tubercules on his gills that look like white pimples. The female will develope a huge tummy when she's pregnant and when breeding them the male will chase the female.

Answer 2

The answer above me is completely corret, although my male goldfish never got the "white spots" on his gills while mating. The male will often be a lot larger than the female!
