all right in this video we're gonna talk
about why your goldfish might be
changing colors coming up alright so
when it comes to goldfish changing
colors there's a couple big reasons why
they change colors number one which i
think is the most likely maybe not
but in a lot of cases changing colors is
simply because of age you don't really
know what you're gonna get until the
goldfish is older that's just kind of
how goldfish are number two the goldfish
could be having problems there could be
ammonia problems in you fish tank which
black blotchy spots is black blotchy
spots say that time times flash is a
sign of like ammonia burns maybe ammonia
burns healing things like that and you
can see that my goldfish here does have
some black spots on it now when I bought
this fish when I saw online it did have
black spots and so I'm not extremely
worried about this plus I have this fish
in the sixty gallon tank I had two
goldfish in a sixty gallon tank for a
good month and the tank was already
cycled so one reason you probably
weren't seeing his full colors is
because of stress - a big point about
stress I ordered this guy online so you
didn't really see the black spots he had
the eyebrow on the one in the picture
when I got him he didn't have the
eyebrow on the wind so stress in transit
from shipping can cause a goldfish's
colors to fade it is possible I had an
ammonia spike when I first got the fish
and it resolves itself and I just didn't
get to it in time when testing so there
that way I didn't notice it I'm not
saying I'm exempt from any of these
problems at all things happen another
example of like poor water quality is
when you see the red veins in the tail
or in the fins of your goldfish and I
haven't seen that in either of these two
so I'm pretty confident that my water
has been okay
and he is just developing his color that
he had before I got him you guys want to
know a little secret
I actually batch a lot of my videos so
like I'll take like a couple hours of
footage at a time and then edit it and
post these videos that's why you're not
like seeing my face in a lot of these
videos cuz they uh they are a lot of
bashed videos so I am kind of not
pulling a fast one on you guys on that
one
so don't hate me for that I have a day
job so I kind of have to if I want to
post videos regularly I kind of have to
do that anyways not all color change is
bad if say want to enhance your color
and your goldfish and you see it
gravitating to a better color chances
are is you haven't in a pond in some
sunlight that will enhance the color of
your goldfish not only that but feeding
a good high quality food will also
enhance the color of your goldfish so if
that's the kind of color change you're
looking for then consider doing that
stuff and that's also goes along with
keeping high quality in your water but
yeah that is a some facts about goldfish
changing colors and it is to me a pretty
exciting thing to see how a goldfish is
going to kind of change into his final
colors and I think it's one of the
better parts about the hobby so guys if
