Dalmation molly question

Question
Hello,
I own a female dalmatian molly and when I got her she was mostly white with few black spots, but now she is almost completely back with some white showing through. I was just wondering does this have anything to do with possibly getting older and getting ready to die because I also had another dalmatian molly that died almost after he got completely black and nothing else was wrong other than the female was a tad bit aggressive towards him. if this color changing has nothing to do with death why is she changing colors and is there anyway to reverse it back???? I'm clueless she's my first dalmatian molly

Thanks

Answer
Hi Erica,
 Color change is a part of the life of many fishes.  It does occur as they get older but that doesn't necessarily mean that she is going to die.  We all get older and there isn't anything you can do about that.
