|  The sun didn't change his color. We'd need more info than you gave. How old is he? Where is he kept? How long have you had him?

| i had him for close to a year now and his health condition is excellent i think.he lives outside in my pond which always used to be cloudy with alergy but he somehow survived.one day he was his normal color when a baby.then i hadn't seen him for awhile(alergy) then the next time i saw him he was huge and the orange was gone.the pond is out in the sun which causes more alergy.

| They can change color as they mature, however they can also fade if they're not well. If the water parameters in your pond are good and he's swimming and eating normally, he may just be changing color. You may want to put some plants in or around your pond to provide it with some shade so the algae doesn't get as bad. Where are you located? My pond is under ice. The only reason I can see my pond fish is because they're in the basement.
