I have like a list of like 40 questions
I guess I maybe I'll just choose one um
my goldfish is turning a white color
what do you think of this one she she
mmm well typically goldfish have born
dark soul like when they I say born that
when they start to develop they are dark
and coloration and obviously those to
stop probation on them and then as they
mature they get they molt their baby
colors and get their adult colors why
there's a couple other things that can
also play into factor with that is that
goldfish coloration is also
light-sensitive if that makes sense like
it responds to white environments and
like straight do you mate um not so much
a substrate because that's underneath
them and goldfish typically or pond fish
sub suddenly actually gives them all the
spectrum and gives them a lot gives me
change in that color but also a dull
face molds from like a dark color into
wider colors as they develop but you can
actually alter goldfish pigment by good
food excellent lighting or nicer
sunlight
okay so if a person was in trouble and
they thought I'm trying to think of
where a person would ask this maybe
first a fish keeper is worried that
their goldfish is maybe malnourished
because it's starting to look a whitish
color or maybe the slime coat you know I
guess the first thing I mean checking
water parameters parameters as an
obvious how about could the water be too
cold
shishi is that what do you think of that
not all you know it's all fish can go
very very cold and icy goldfish you can
found in ponds that are completely
frozen
so they go like as the water drops they
actually become like almost in dormant
phase so like that their heartbeat will
slow down to virtually like non-existent
it'll pump just enough to keep them
alive but not enough for them to be like
swimming around and being active and
that's the typical response to like a
cold environment but definitely if if
your goldfish is doing something strange
like changing color like dramatically
acting lethargic then the first thing I
would say is do you have adequate
filtration and I are your water
parameters correct yeah I would say I'm
just trying to think of what other
variables could a person could be
worried
how about lighting like what I don't
know where I'm trying to go with this
but I'm just trying to cover all grounds
as far as helping people you know in the
future and how about this go for it all
right
goldfish actually have better color
reception than humans so it's actually
very very important that you do provide
your goldfish with adequate light in its
it and it helps stimulate them a lot and
it also just promotes a healthier more
active more responsive fish would you
say the best lighting is just the
absolute best would be natural light yes
oh you want to try and replicate that as
much as you can only see if you have a
big tank full of goldfish then you need
to get like the broad spectrum lights
that would would mimic the Sun
