We have a koi pond with about 6 goldfish in it. This summer, it appears they had babies and the babies are black. I'm confused as to how gold-color fish could produce black-color babies?

It is genetics. Most black goldfish and koi turn orange, red, or white as they mature. Don't be surprised to see them change color in a year or two.

He will be satisfactory! Take additional care of him, water alterations every 3-5 days, feed him perhaps handiest as soon as each 2 days so ammonia doesnt construct up as quick, and that 20 Gallon should be ideal.

When first born, all goldfish have a dark brown coloration to help them hide from predators. In time, they'll get brighter coloring, although a few may stay dark their entire lives.

he would be high quality! take extra advantageous care of him, water variations each 3-5 days, feed him possibly basically as quickly as each 2 days so ammonia doesnt build up as rapid, and that 20 Gallon would desire to be suitable.
