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 would happen to goldfish left in dark?
A goldfish left in the dark would gradually, over time, turn completely white. This is because the color pigmentation cells responsible for the fish's bright color, cannot work without sunlight. It would, however, take a very long time for a goldfish to lose 100% of its color because they have so many color pigmentation cells in their scales.

Will goldfish turn back to their original colour after taking them out from the dark?
theoretically, yes! a goldfish will loose color if you put it in the dark. Allow the fish to get NON-direct natural sunlight (don't ever place a goldfish in direct sunlight though) and it should return to its natural color within a few weeks to a few months if you feed it properly. you can get color enhancing foods at the pet store, which will help :) proper nutrition and care make for a healthy, colorful fishy friend!
