Fish turned albino??

[aeri]

A feeder goldfish I've been keeping for the past few months all of a sudden lost its colour 2 weeks ago. From a deep reddish-orange to all albino-white.

Is this...normal...?

 

[pupumole]

mine did that too ... o.o

Some Goldfish tend to change their colors throughout their life. I had a red and white feeder that turned all white and I've also had a Panda Telescope that turned red on me.

Do other fish do this too?
and what causes it?

It's mainly a goldfish thing. Exposing your fish to direct sunlight will give it a tan and may turn it back to being gold. No joke

i bought 5 feeders for my eel a while back long since, my eel died but i kept the feeders and became attatched haha. soo i had those 5 and one of those guys was silver with a little black on his nose.. long story short i was gone a while and had my mom feed my fish, i got back and thought he died because he was no where to be found.. yea he was there the whole time, i never counted my fish to see they were all there cuz they never came out all at once when i fed them. he changed his color only him though now hes orange hes a wacko

Maybe your fish died and your mom replaced it with another feeder. That would explain the color change.

Put any goldfish in an environment with no light. It will turn white.

fish react to substrate color, amount of light, stress, water quality, etc by changing color

so i guess it's a bad thing that they changed colour.
is it possible to do it with an arowana :0
