Question

when i bought them they were red but after a 7 months that i have them , they changed to orange. i keep them inside of house.

but they are doing ok. why they get lighter?

Oh i have another question, do they need sun ?

Answer 1

The gold fish do get lighter overtime and if you change their diet it makes it faster. Try color enhancing food, ask for advice at a local pet store.

Answer 2

Goldfish change color over time, it's normal especially in commons. Their orange color/red color is equivalent to us getting a tan. To maintain it, they need light and a good diet. What are you feeding your fish?  

Answer 3

thats normal for fish to do actually, i've seen a case where a lionhead goldfish went from bright orange to a chocolate brown in like weeks. so dont worry

Answer 4

gold fish get there color from light

http://www.kokosgoldfish.com/disease.htm... means they need more light. or its possible about this disease.

Answer 5

Yes, it is normal.

When I was younger I had several gold fish.

Over the course of months they all changed their colors.

I surely didn't know why, but just noticed it.

They do not need sun.

Hope it helps.
