Unwell Fish?

[Thedoctor]

Any one know what (if anything) is wrong with this fish. The change has intensified over the last few months. Still swimming and feeding fine.

It doesn't look like it's losing it's scales to me, it looks like it's changing colour. It's not rare for goldfish to change colour. My black oranda changed colour and now has more orange colour than black. Long as the fish is swimming and eating fine then I wont worry about it.

I have a Comet that has done the excat same thing and a "Chocolate Oranda" that was mainly a beautiful dark brown/black to the top and a shiny gold to the lower half. He is now bright Orange all over!! They just seem to change colour, some do, some don't. Neither of my Canary Yellows have changed colour. I have a Black Common Goldfish that had similar Marks, but it was getting too much attention from an over amorous goldfish but within a short while those white scales disappeared, got darker and are now definately black again.

Don't reckon it's ill tbh.

I've had gold fish in the past that changed colour, mainly Black moores, never seen them do it scale by scale though.

Either way, thanks for the help
