Re: Fantail losing color

I have an Oranda doing the exact same thing, and I think he was once all
black but is turning orange.  Now there is only a little black left on his
back and a few markings on the tail fin but that's all.  It is a natural
thing, I guess.  I also just got 2 black moors, and I expect them to turn
color.  I bought the ones with the least amount of gold on their belly, but
I don't think the black will stay.  We'll see.  I guess we have to spend
more money on them if we want quality  :-)
