If it’s like our experience with cichlids, it’s so the babies have a place to hide. One little rock is not enough. We had lots of hiding spots in our aquarium and they bred like crazy!
To identify a female goldfish, look for a rounder, thicker body shape. Females may also have a bulge on one side as breeding season approaches, and their vent, or anal opening, may protrude slightly. Male goldfish often have a thinner, more streamlined body shape than females, with a concave vent and a midline ridge. (thank you internet)Besides, that fish isn’t happy because there’s not enough room in a fishbowl or interesting things to do.

What does the fish’s gender have to do with it being unhappy?
