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.
Black goldfish, like moors, often lose their color over time. They often fade from a rich velvety black to a dark shade of gray with gold highlights. Keeping a goldfish in dim light can cause it to lose its bright color. The same is true for a goldfish kept in constantly running water, like a stream. On the other hand, bright sunlight will improve a goldfishâs color, brightening up soft yellows, reds and pale orange.
