[Dorkhedeos]

this is weird, my goldfish's fins are starting to turn orange at the tips, does this happen to any other fish? its kinda hard to see, in the 2nd picture, its is top fin

what can i do to stop this?



oh yeah, the goldfish was only in the goldfish bowl to take pictures.

your fish looks quite young, young goldfish often change colour as they grow up...

Yeah, basicaly what hellohefalump said, Goldfish often cahnge colour. It doesnt matter though, he/she will still be beautiful, lol.

Aww nice red cap oranda. Our chocolate oranda turned orange eventually i think its down to ageing?

Goldfish change colour all the time and often do not start to become 'gold' until they get a big older.

 

[sammydee]

Yeah I had an ordinary goldfish and his fins changed from white to orange.

Nice goldfish, nothing to worry about. It's an oranda isn't it.

That happened to my swordtail b4 he was struck down by my betta.

this is weird, my fish is getting fatter and its not dropsy, i can see a tanish color in between the scales

You say your gold fish is getting fatter? That is normal, especially with orandas. That's the way the Asian people bred them. I have a fantail and an oranda and there is a consiterable difference between them with concerns to 'fatness'. The fantial is much older too and already the oranda is 'out growing' him.
