it was normal color ( ORANGE ) OR ( GOLD ) and now it is BLACK, why is this is it sick? Is it dying?
Answers:
Happened to my goldfish.
This is perfectly normal. Goldfish go through a series of color changes as they grow older. You should be happy that their growth has not been stunted or stopped.
i have a gold and silver one and the other one is black with gold and silver specks, they are both 4 1/2 years old
How quickly did it turn black? Is it completely black or spots? Some goldfish will get different colored spots on them and some can change color. Are you sure they are true goldfish? Comets and Koi and in the same family as goldfish and are often mistaken for them, comets and goldfish are mistaken alot because they look almost identical and comets change color often.
I have four gold fish in an aquarium and one of them turned almost white, I was scared too, but the gold fish will reflect any problems with their environment. The pH could be off and he may need some ick guard. They sell the pH tests and the ick guard at Wal-Mart or any pet store. Don't worry, I believe he'll be okay.
When a goldfish turns white or very pale (as per the above answerer's fish) it is because the fish isn't getting enough light and his pigments fade. Believe it or not a fish suffering colour loss will become depressed.
I don't know if a fish can turn black in the same manner, but I would recommend that you have a look at your lighting conditions. Good luck!
try cutting back on the food- one big flake for each fish 2 times a day. if the fish is acting sick then it is sick and it might die. If you don't have a bubbler then get one of those, they might not be getting enough oxygen
Lung cancer. Too much smoking around him.
yeah its dying sorry its decaying that's why
