My goldfish is swollen. Is she pregnant? How long do they carry eggs?

Question

Hey so I have female and male goldfish that have already laid eggs in the past, but I just let them eat the eggs but now I have the equipment and everything else to save the eggs and let them be goldfish anyway these females have gotten larger and I was wondering if you would be able to tell by these pics if there pregnant, would you also be able to tell me how long a fish is carrying it eggs for, thanks

Thanks for reaching out and including photos. Coeloms (abdomens) are swollen, but unable to determine if eggs. Often when it is time to spawn, the vent becomes slightly everted. An ultrasound would be the only way to truly determine if eggs are in the abdomen. Good luck.
