Pet Forum / Aquaria / Goldfish / June 2004Turning goldfish gold
Greetings All, Over the years, my GF have turned progressively and totally white . . . anything I can feed them or anything I can change in their environment to turn them gold again? Tom S. sorry, this is under control of decolorization gene. color enhanced food might bring out some yellow.

Tom S. In the absence of any credible advice, I'd suggest changing your substrate colour (seriously - in general, it can effect the colouration of certain fish). Maybe we should do a survey, to see if there is a predominant substrate colour correlating to their changing to lighter colours. I keep them on dark blue substrate and on black lined ponds and have not observed colour changes. Are yours on a light coloured substrate?  Signaturewww.NetMax.tk For us it's been the opposite. We've had our fish turn orange! For the substrate, we've had coloured pebbles, then pea gravel, then nothing (under tank was brown cabinet). We even gave one of our original white fish to a friend with an outside pond. They had to rename "Snowball" to "Tangerine" as it turned orange too! |
