I am not joking. Couple of months ago my goldfish had normal colour its not ill or anything but now its colour has faded away and not such a pretty sight anymore hence it shouldn't be called a goldfish more like an albino.
I wonder what made it lose its pigmentation? has anyone experienced this before any fish keepers lol?

Has it seen any ghosts recently?

Yeah this happened to one of mine too. One minute it was bright orange, a couple of weeks later it was white all over.

Dunno what causes it, but I don't think it's serious. Mine lived for years afterwards.

The same thing happened to mine. It lived on for years afterwards, quite happily. Towards the end it was almost transparent.

Is it the only goldfish in the tank? If so it might be overdoing the fin shuffling as it must be lonely.

OR

Does it spend a lot of time in the dark?

lolol does it have pink eyes too?

Seriously, this isn't an unusual thing to happen according to Mr Google

Vinba yes it is lonely goldfish in a bowl its exposed to lots of sunlight

I know this may sound ridiculous but i used to have a black moor fish and my goldfish was a bully to it and actually murdered it because i saw it took its fin of. Could be racist too i heard that happens with animals.

Apparently it can also be due to age as well as breeding, expensive well bred goldfish can stay orangy for longer (so the internet says)

Isn't a black moor a species of goldfish as well?

from wikipedia:

wiki says citation needed but that sounds like a plausible explanation

also goldfish were originally bred centuries ago from a genetic mutation of carp that had a nice orange-golden colour, so it could be like a tendency towards genetic reversion back to what it should be

Chuck it under the grill for 5 mins

A few of my goldfish started to lose their pigment as they were getting older, although it was a gradual process, with a few scales at first, until one did end up completely white all over. He did live for 20 years though.

A racist goldfish! It would be surprising if it is true, first I have ever heard that. Its strange your goldfish lost it's colour, none of mine ever did.

I dont think I'd have fish again, the last time I had two clown fish, one was trying to kill the other and had to take it back to the shop, next day the other one committed suicide by jumping out the air vent. £35 a fish too wasn't happy.

RIP Fishy Wishy

Yes, I had one too. There was nothing wrong with it. the fish just......faded.

Something similar happened to me with my Goldfish. It lived for a bit then died.

But I don't actually remember if it was real.

I have a fish that this has happened to. What I’ve heard is that it can be caused by a shock or illness. My fish did have swim bladder a lot when he was younger but we managed to get him through that and he has been fine every since but not grown as much as the others.

It’s unlikely your fish will ever get its colour back. But it may do so a small amount if you fine tune things such as the PH and generally improve the conditions.

Tetra fin offer a range of foods called tetra fin gold and one of them is specially formulated to promote colour.
