Before breeding, the female goldfish will have a larger abdomen, less appetite and activity, and some will hide at the bottom of the tank all the time. The male fish will be more excited, and the keeper will look carefully and see a few small white spots on their fins. And they will keep chasing the female fish, and if the female fish accepts the pursuit of the male fish, they will chase and play with each other. At this point, they are about to spawn, and breeders need to move them to a new fish breeding tank to lay eggs.
