When do the fry get color
I have several babies in my mixed pond (koi and goldfish). They were born
last summer and the bigger ones are over 3 inches, closer to 4. They are still mostly black (goldfish, I'm told, though several look more like koi). Some have begun to develop light and dark patterns on the scales and others have some shimmer to the upper part of their bodies, but I'm wondering when to expect they will begin to truly show their colors? Thanks. -- Remydog Check out Spamex at www.spamex.com! |

Thanks. My experience just with goldfish. Shubunkins show patterns early, one month or so. Gold colored goldfish decolor (black to gold) anywhere from 4 months to four years. some never do, they stay black (gray or bronze) -- - Charles - -does not play well with others |

Thanks. I have had them turn at 1/2 inch, 1 inch, 2 inches, and one we had for three years finally turn (we called him the 'Stealth Fish') just be patient. |
