Goldfish do...the brown ones frquently get orange/gold as they mature. Try saltwater fish lol, about half of all aquarium species change colour/pattern, often drastically.

its true, many goldfish are black when small, and turn orange as they get bigger..
but there are lots of white ones in small feeder batches too..and they are not 20 years old

Do they go from gold to white like the guy says his did?

It's possible. There are many factors that could affect its coloration; food, lighting, background and substrate colors, etc.
when they change colour its in the first year of life as they are maturing to adulthood. it doesn't take 20 years..the fish would have been white from year 1 onwards...

Exactly. I do know that goldfish will turn white if kept in dark conditions.
No way that fish has grown to that size in that tank for lifeOtto_VonBacon;3585111; said:
And no way the tank/water is that clean with a fish that proportionatly large in it.

I had a customer bring me a 12" Emperor ID that had been raised in a 30 gallon for almost 10 years...fish looked like ass though...
That's definately amazing, but look at the apparent water quality of the OP's fish. IMO the guy put the fish in there for photos.SimonL;3585574; said:
I love when people say something ''looks like ass''
