It's natural, don't worry

It's not fungus or ich. He is still active. I worry about all my fish

 

[Candiceg]

Eventually he will be all white

 

[Cbcrash]

****. I don't like that

What's the cause of him Turning white

 

[Candiceg]

Just nature. My oranda started off orange and black. Then the black faded away. Now he is all orange and his tail is starting to turn white. I have a Pom Pom oranda too. Started out all brown/bronze now all orange.

Ok thanks. So I shouldn't worry ? What about my fantail
And ryukin fins deformed?

Post a pic if his tail was born that way then it will stay that way. Don't worry about colors changing kinda fun to watch

Completely normal color change! A pic of the ryukin would help, too. To give you an idea of how much goldies change color, look at the thread below to see how a 'black' moor changes color.

Are Color changes part of fish getting older? The fins got deformed I'm guessing of poor water quality. Now im using tap and ro.

Pretty much any color, including orange, is not static in goldfish. Goldies exposed to natural sunlight tend to keep darker colors longer than than their tank kept siblings though. Private breeders will breed selectively based on genetics (rather than profit of a commercial fishery) to maintain greater stability of certain colors as well but these fish also have hefty price tags. Its not so much of a fish 'getting old' but more so just simply nature. Even babies will go through various color changes.

Is this a new question? We would need all of the specifics on the situation and pics would help as well. You may want to consider starting a new thread if you need help with a different fish.
