When your male goldfish are ready to spawn, they will develop tiny white bumps known as “spawning tubercles” around their heads, gill covers, and pectoral fins. If you notice these white spots on your male fish, there is a greater chance that your female fish may be pregnant. Spawning tubercles may be hard to see. If you do not see these, it doesn’t mean that your fish isn't pregnant. When they are preparing to spawn, the male fish may chase the female ones, in a dance sometimes called the “spawning chase.” In many cases, this behavior is more obvious than spawning tubercles (which can be hard to see). When goldfish are about to lay eggs, they usually start to move more sluggishly. Take note if your goldfish is moving slowly or seems to have trouble getting around. You may also notice your goldfish “nesting,” or spending most of the time hiding near shelters or plants. When are fish are preparing to spawn, they will sometimes refuse food. If your goldfish isn't eating as much, it is possible that they may lay eggs soon. Female goldfish are generally a bit rounder than male goldfish. When your female goldfish is about to lay eggs, the size of their belly may grow even larger, and stick out a bit. Just like the spawning tubercles, in some fish this can be quite noticeable, yet in others, you may not see it at all.
