My $.12 gold fish were orange with black stipes down their heads. Now they are completely orange. Is this natural? Should I be worried? Are they going to die? What should I do?

My goldfish seem to keep changing colors. Two of them are like albino or something, they used to be orange and now theyre white, almost see-thru! One of them like turned black. But they're growing huge and they've been around for quite a while. I think they're okay. Just let em be.

all baby goldfish are black/gray and then start turning orange slowly, that's what your fish are doing, they will be fine
some mature fish change colors, nobody knows why

I'm no fish expert but my father at one time had as many as 8 large fish tanks in his home. He raised many fish, his goldfish at times did loose their color. They never died from it, eventually some turned white.

goldfish will change colors as they are a product of their enviroment. no worries ,but make sure that you are feeding them properly so that they produce bright colors and have a healthy appearance
