Best Answer

Goldfish don't always stay the same color. As a goldfish ages, it can turn a variety of colors, like orange or yellow or white, including patches or spots of color as well.
Common household goldfish tend to change colors throughout their lives. White, orange, and yellow color changes, in whole or in part, are very common.

How do goldfish react to being placed directly under a lamp?

If a goldfish is kept in the dark it will appear lighter in the morning, So if left in the dark for a long period of time, a goldfish will turn almost white. If kept in the light, it will absorb color, and often become a brighter gold. (almost the same as when we tan, the sun gives us color, and when we get less of it we turn whiter, or lighter)

What should you do if your goldfish is pregnant and you have a small tank?

Goldfish are not livebearers so they are never truly pregnant. If you think your goldfish is pregnant than she is just getting ready to spawn by becoming full of eggs. Unless there is a male goldfish present the eggs will be unfertilized and will not hatch into baby goldfish fry. Your female goldfish will soon lay her eggs, and if no further action is taken, she will then eat them. As for the small tank, I would really recommend moving her into a bigger one.
