Black Moor Changing Colors

[DThompson]

Has anybody seen this before? I'm assuming this is happening because of the food I'm feeding the fish. I've been feeding Repashy gel for about 6-8 months now and my Black Moors belly has turned orange and his eyes are turning orange. It's not a big deal to me, I think it's quite interesting.

First picture is from April 2018, second picture was from yesterday, January 28th, 2019.

Yes not unusual for Goldfish to change color.

tlindsey is right. It’s normal for goldfish to change colors as they age. Black moors are less likely to change, but can.

Not a true black moor rather a telescope eye, changes in diet can cause increased pigment development

Except this fish is losing pigment and melanin. Some black moors change color later in life.

Black moors tend to be less deep bodied, also many consider any other coloration other then black on them a disqualification of moor status
