Do you have a pond? Goldfish rarely if ever breed in an aquarium setting. Mostly because you have to mimick nature with weather changes and seasons (to include lighting to match the hours of natural daytime and nighttime) and that's a little hard to do. In a pond they do it just fine, but I would not attempt it in an aquarium, odds are you will never see any spawing behavior at all.
