Hey guys,
Im having trouble with some of my goldfish losing their black colors. Ive had 2 lionheads that when i bought them were a beautiful black and orange, with the black being dominant on both fish. Now both fish have lost all of the black colors and are totaly orange with out a trace of black. I have a black moor that kept her color and a calico lion head that kept their color, but it happened to a comet that i have as well. I bought them at different times, but with the same result. Is it food? Is it light? Ive had them all for 1-2 years, and its happened to each one of them at completely different times. They are all very healthy, get plenty of water and filter changes(25-30% weekly) and i dont overfeed them. My temps a little warm though, 78 degrees. I feed them pellets and live bloodworms. Can you help?
