Goldfish Development. Baby goldfish are born much darker than they will be as adults. This may be because dark colors helps these small, vulnerable fish escape the attention of predators. With proper husbandry, the fish gradually change color and develop orange or gold scales. Fancy goldfish may develop color patterns including white patches.
Only about 80 percent of goldfish eggs develop. Remove any that remain cloudy since these eggs are unfertilized and will grow fungi that can spread to developing eggs. Goldfish fry typically take several days before they become free-swimming. During this time, the baby fish live off their yolk sacs.
