yes, goldfish can mate, if you keep your goldfish in a pond... they usually mate in spring, and if you keep your goldfish in a tank, they may mate anytime... but they usually dont do this until they are 3 years old, when they mate, the male will get breeding tubercles which looks like pimples but not red, then they will do a chase, when the female get tired she will release her eggs and the male will fertilize them. of course, you can also try to find ways to make them breed though... anyways... as animals are... they can pretty much all breed including goldfish!
