Hello Nori, i have a goldfish with black markings which have disappeared! The fish lives with 1 other and seems perfectly happy.

Can you enlighten me please?

Many thanks, michelle

Answer
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for your letter. Hmmmm. Haven't heard that one before. Here's my advice, read my holistic aquarium care instructions. If you are following everything, the water is clear, you are feeding correctly (a couple flakes per day per fish), and you are using Cycle or some other bacteria culture, then just let it be. Maybe it's something in your water or maybe its losing its baby stripes (never heard of that before, but maybe).
Here is my page. Please read and print for future reference:
