My new goldfish was deep gray and is now ghostly white and dying. Any ideas as to what could have happened. My water parameters are good. I've done water changes, and I was giving medication for a parasite, due to be told she may have flukes. Nothing worked and she is dying. I'm still trying to research what happened, but has anyone ever had a fish go from a deep dark color to pale white, including their fins? Please don't tell me, goldfish change colors. I'm trying to figure out what is killing my fish so hopefully I can make her better.
Just to clarify, it's not ich or velvet. I have googled this and can not find anything. she was fine, then started flashing (hence, thinking it was flukes), then loosing all of her color.
Also, when we brought her home from the petstore, she was very stressed and did not want to come out of the bag. Once in the tank, she started to freak out due to seeing her reflection on the base of the hospital tank. Once we put in a small amount of gravel, she calmed down. The other fish that was with her is healthy and is doing fine.
