Can gold fish make black babies2007-11-24 23:10:34

We have a koi pond with about 6 goldfish in it. This summer, it appears they had babies and the babies are black. I'm confused as to how gold-color fish could produce black-color babies?

Answers:

It is genetics. Most black goldfish and koi turn orange, red, or white as they mature. Don't be surprised to see them change color in a year or two.

When first born, all goldfish have a dark brown coloration to help them hide from predators. In time, they'll get brighter coloring, although a few may stay dark their entire lives.

I don't know about black but all goldfish start out as dark green an don't get there coloring untoll they are about 6months two about 2 years of age.
