    Hey guys,

    about 2 weeks ago I noticed my two black moor goldfish started developing a fungus, so off I popped to the pet shop and got some medicine for them. I put them in separate tanks to help speed the healing process.
    A few days ago I noticed one of them started turning gold, now Im just after coming back in from the kitchen and that fish has started going transparent! I can see black bones inside that are connected to its 2 front fins and Im really freaked out by it as I did a quick Google search and cant find any info on this. This cant be normal, help from anyone greatly appreciated!

    Jaf.

    I had two Black Moors and a similar thing happened....they went silver first, then a kind of cloudy transparent. I thought it was normal for that particular 'breed'...I had no clue tbh :confused:

    The fih in question was in direct sunlight for a few days and when I realised that I moved her, since they have no eye lids I thought they wouldnt like it, I wouldnt like to be in direct sunlight all day with no eye lids...

    Anywho I checked on her a few hours after my first post and she seemed to be back to her normal colour, and she still is now.....so thanks everyone for the replies, I think shes okay anyway. :)
