Answer 2

Do you know how old your goldfish is?  Goldfish won't start breeding until they are 3 years of age or older, although some males will get the breeding tubercles at a younger age.  The male goldfish  develop breeding stars or tubercles on their gill covers and along the first ray of their pectoral fins

Below is a picture as to what they look like.

A 1 L tank isn't large enough for one goldfish let alone two for breeding.

Not to mention the hundreds of fry that will follow.

The first signs goldfish are ready to mate; The male goldfish will get white pimples on the gill coverings and the female goldfish will become very round looking.

are the pimply or like white dots...if they are dots could be ich, otherwise the fish could be "in season"

it probably has ick so try getting some medicine but 1 liter tank for a goldfish is just crazy! They need to be in at least a 20 gallon tank since they get 2 FEET LONG!!!

pimples on the gill is a sign your goldfish is ready for mating  if in other parts of the body its white spot quarantine it with rocksalt and good aeration
