whats happening to my goldfish?

Question

i have this one goldfish i purchased over a year ago. it is white, and when i first bought it, it had a red stripe across its back, from its head to its tail. now, its dissapered, and comes back ever so often. so why is my fish's stripe coming back and going away?

Answer 1

Goldfish sometimes lose and change colors as they mature, and this nothing to worry about. For example, orange and black juveniles sometimes lose the black blotches.

Answer 2

I have 2 tanks of goldfish and they change their colors all the time. I read somewhere once that if you subject a goldfish to a colorful tank with a lot of light (something that won't heat the water up) they turn bright vinrant gold colors. If it is a dull tank with not a lot of lighting their colors fade. Also stressed fish lose their color as well. Keep an eye on him, color change could be a variety of things. BTW I had a black moor in with goldfish and he turned bright orange just like the goldfish. My kids were pissed.

Birds like herons and storks might want to have sneakily taken one out of your pond even as you weren't looking. it is got here about formerly to a pal of mine. the best information is to provide up this, those birds are somewhat large so that you'll hide the pond in netting and the birds won't be able to take the fish. Sorry to take heed to this got here about to you

Answer 4

Maybe not a gold fish. They always say the true colors always come out . You can hide forever.
