weird color change

[YahooFishKeeper]

i have this goldfish that is changing colors. he started out mostly orange with a little white. now he is turning white. it wasnt like an over night thing though. it sort of happend gradually, and its not a fungus. i read that koi color change thing, is changing color normal for goldfish too? he kind of looks cool. if it is normal, i hope he turns all white. there are no symptoms of him being sick or anything either.

Yes Goldfish do change color too. I wouldnt be too worried.

I didn't even really notice how much of a change had happened until looking up past photos..now she is just about all white with light orange bubbles*twirlysmi

 

[ninamarie]

what's with the bubbles? what are they what is the purpose of them? Would liek to know for they are interresting fish

 

[Persimmon]

They are simply a bubble eye goldfish. The bubbles really have no purpose, just like the bubble crowns on pearlscales, etc. They are filled with fluid that keeps them puffed

Whoah! I didn't know goldfish changed colors!!

Yea, I have another small orange bubble eye that is also starting to change. Color can also come back. Not all just turn white, other colors can appear as well. I am hoping Chichi stays whuite, she is very beautiful
