Answer 1

sounds like you're overfeeding it

you shouldn't be feeding more then what they will eat in under 2 minutes, about twice a day

goldfish don't get pregnant, they get into roe, which means they're egg layers

also your Goldie is way to small to be even adult size

they can't breed until they're about 1-3 years of age, this is the time they will be able to breed

Answer 2

Not pregnant,Goldfish are externally fetilized egglayers. Maybe egg-bound,but probably just overfed.
