Are you saying the gold fish you see in stores with the black fins
have been subjected to high ammonia? If so thats a bummer.....I had
always assumed they were just colored that way naturally, matter of
fact that color combination is one of my favorites in goldfish. Nice
deep orange red body with black fins....unless were talking about
something totally different than what I am thinking.
