Caper Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Hope I'm doing this right, didn't want to post another pic if didn't have to: http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/next-vt6530.html?postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 If you can see Sam, my goldfish, this was taken last year and his orange was really bright :-? Now it seems to be faded, I'd take a pic but left my camera in the my car & my kids have it :-? He is blind but other than that he seems to be fine, except for the faded coloring. The other 2 goldfish in with him, their colors are still ok. I only check the water occasionally now unless I think there's something wrong but I didn't check it now since the other goldies' colors are fine. Any suggestions as to why his color would be fading?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 Goldfish can also change colour over the years. I had a goldfish that lost all body colour but had gorgeous orange fins. He started out orange all over for a number of years and changed when he was about 4 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted August 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Thanks Sharn & Caryl How do you know how old a fish is :-? :-? Is there a rough estimate kinda thingy say by size??? One of the fantails has more orange on him than when I got him so I guess it's just a change like your's went through Caryl...OR ELSE...Beauty is stealing Sam's color :evil: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Do you get any direct sunlight on the tank? You know how curtains and carpet fade in the sun... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
