Hoe do you tell if a goldfish is a boy or a girl?? I have one and would like to know

Your fish look real pretty by the way

Thanks so much Well its hard on goldfish, but males have things called tubercules on their Gill plate(the big scale that covers their gills). They are just tiny specks and are usually white and protruding like tiny spot warts, but very small. Alot of people have a hard time seeing them. Anyways the males have those tubercules and females don't, females have very smooth gill plates.

Oh my gosh that would be so cool! But it would be hard to do too. Black Beauty has been coming out a big more last night, so today I can get a pic of him/her

Actualy someone was selling the hole set up of that LOL.

Kalei, you have beautiful fish and as always great photos lol.

Sorry you had to give away your other fish but It was best I geuss.

I'm sure queen will live very long, koi fish are also very nice .. they can live up to 50 years old or more!

Your goldies are so pretty. =] I love how massive Queen is, she is stunning!
Haha, I wish I could figure out if my goldfish were male or female... I've looked for breeding tubercules, never found any. I suppose my three could be females.

Anyway, its great to see your gorgeous fish!

Thanks so much! I"m glad you like seeing them Queen is definately massive, its a good word for her lol, she's bigger than alot of pond fish I've seen in ponds (not tanks) which means Queen is huge for being in a tank lol, it didn't help getting her a 55 gallon tank..now sh'es just getting bigger and bigger lol.

Well the tubercules are usually on seeable when the fish is a year old or more, but if they already are and you can't see any, they could all be females
