Greetings All,

Over the years, my GF have turned progressively and totally white . . .
anything I can feed them or anything I can change in their environment to
turn them gold again? Tom S.

sorry, this is under control of decolorization gene. color enhanced food might bring
out some yellow. Ingrid

In the absence of any credible advice, I'd suggest changing your
substrate colour (seriously - in general, it can effect the colouration
of certain fish).

Maybe we should do a survey, to see if there is a predominant substrate
colour correlating to their changing to lighter colours. I keep them on
dark blue substrate and on black lined ponds and have not observed colour
changes. Are yours on a light coloured substrate?

For us it's been the opposite. We've had our fish turn orange! For the
substrate, we've had coloured pebbles, then pea gravel, then nothing (under
tank was brown cabinet). We even gave one of our original white fish to a
friend with an outside pond. They had to rename "Snowball" to "Tangerine" as
it turned orange too!
