There is no such thing as a pregnant goldfish. They are egg layers and so do not get pregnant. Gravid is the term used to describe an impregnated female livebearer and does not correctly refer to any species of egg laying fish. Gravid can not be used in reference to a goldfish. ** Gravidity, in essence, refers to "heavy with young" regardless if the organism is viviparous, oviparous, or ovoviviparous. According to Miriam-Webster online dictionary, this term is acceptable to define condition of any sexual reproductive product. It also specifically refers to "a gravid fish" as being full of eggs. Please refer to provided examples below. Granted, some sources define gravidity as "an implanted uterus" only, but the cited Example #2 below is inclusive of eggs as a means of development and delivery. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/gravidgravid Top of Form

∙ 14y agoFor a fish to be "pregnant" it has to be a "livebearer" if that is the case, then eventually the fish will have its young. If on the otherhand the fish is not a "livebearer" then it can not be pregnant so you have nothing to worry about.

∙ 11y agoThis will depend on the type of fish. Goldfish are egg laying, so they do not get pregnant. Livebearing fish such as platys or guppys get what is called a gravid spot on their belly that darkens as they get closer to giving birth.
