Baby Goldfish Changing Colour - At Last!

[zuulan]

1 of my 2 baby goldfish has finally started to change to Gold colour, Had him for over 6 months. Do people think the black markings will stay black?
 

 

 
The photo above shows him, you can see his younger brother in the background

I don't think I've ever seen one where the markings stay or at least some remain.. Disappointing I know! Eventually they lose it all

That's a bummer but atleast you had him to see the markings to begin with. What fish is that in the lower left of the picture

Some type of Hillstream Loach it seems.

Hi, thanks for the replies.  
 
The fish stuck on the glass is some type of plec.  Not sure of the type, it's just over an inch long and I've had him for about 3 years.
 
Would you say my goldfish for Pom Pon's?

He is adorable! I love the "grass" in your tank too. Looks lovely!

Thankyou! That was a while ago when I was first on the forum. I left, then came back.  I have been back on here and into fishkeeping for a few months now

Looks like it's a Badge awarded for life then.
 
I think my goldfish looks a bit sad in the above photo's.  Will have to take some more when he's feeling happier.

Yeah looks like it!
Aww he's so adorable! Do you have a journal with pics of the full tank? I really love that grass would love to see the whole tank.

Just sent you a mail.
 
The grass was grown when it was a tropical tank.  Just recently given my tropicals away and moved my goldfish into this tank. Even though I've removed the heater the temperature has still remained at around 24 degrees. Not sure how the grass will cope when Winter comes and the temperature drops.

I just replied! 
Ah right, still looks very green and lush. Hopefully stays like that. What made you give up your tropical tank?
