Regular Member fish10 Posted April 6 Regular Member Share Posted April 6 We've had this little guy almost a year. Will he eventually lose all his orange? He used to be 2/3 orange and 1/3 white (left: July 2020), which has reversed over the past few months (right: currently). It doesn't matter to me either way, just curious? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Mikey Posted April 6 Regular Member Share Posted April 6 Goldfish can always go through a color change. There isn't really anyway of knowing until it happens To me, it just looks like he's been properly fed since being in your care and just normally growing now as a whole If you look at his tail, there is actually more orange on it now than when you first got him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I'll wait and see what else happens! 🙂 Thanks for the insight. I was curious because our other fish hasn't changed color at all. 🤷 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now of course Gold is the most common color, so goldfish have a tendency to change to orange. lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member spider man Posted April 9 Regular Member Share Posted April 9 Your fish looks fine and it appears you have done a great job of grooming him. In your first pic he appears emaciated and in the second pic very healthy, great job 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supporter FishyMandy Posted April 22 Supporter Share Posted April 22 I had a fish that had really bright orange for years and then within a couple of weeks his orange completely faded and he ended up completely white, he's never gained back any of his orange. I unfortunately don't have photos of the process on this computer or else I'd share them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea this was possible until now! 🤷 He was cute when he was orange with a white belly, and he's cute now too. ♥️ I just didn't realize how fast it would happen! He may be completely white soon. Here he is today. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
