Baby Goldfish

Question
I have around 24 baby Goldfish in my 250 gallon pond & they're starting to change colors from blackish to gold.
How old are they when this colors change occurs?

Answer
Hi Earl,
 Sorry but I have no idea.  I can tell you that it is less likely to depend on absolute age as it does on how much they have grown, temperature and other factors. Absolute age means very little to most fish because of the way that they grow.
