It's something solid and stone alike. Definitely not eggs. One 3-4 pieces at the buttom. I have been seeing these since the begining, I wasn't pay too much attention until I realized they are from fish's drop. I actually saw one of the fish dropped it.

The size is even smaller than a grain of rice. It's in white color. Somekind of stone from the organ?

I believe what you are seeing is goldfish teeth (phargneal teeth) that are quite visible in bare bottom tanks.

Is this normal? and what does that telling us?

Goldfish teeth are in their throat. I was told from a good source that they shed their teeth. This is why you see them all the time. I'm constantly scooping them during water changes. And yes, it's normal.

Ok, thanks for the information. First when I saw your reply, I was thinking my GFs are really old. Because when people start loosing their teeth, they are must be over 65 yrs old.

I think goldfish would loose their teeth when feed them hard pellets.

After 3 weeks of feeding my fish only frozen food, I am no longer find their teeth at the buttom of the tank.

Soft food is the best for GF.

They are supposed to loose teeth. Teeth grow back and become larger with age. Eventually you will begin finding them again even if you only feed soft food.
