Are goldfish supposed to turn white???

Hi.
Does anybody know if goldfish are supposed to turn white?
We've had a pond for 3 years and recently the fish have been changing
colour. They don't seem to be ill or anything so is this a natural
occurrence ?
Thanks for any help. Two worried children wait with bated breath.

Fish often change colour. I too have had "gold" fish turn completely or
nearly completely white. As long as your water quality is good & the fish
don't appear to be ill don't worry. Your particular fish are genetically
predisposed to be white. Hope this puts yours and your children's minds at
rest.
