Hi,
Of my ten leather goldfish, one has died (second largest) after my heavy water change when I got back from Hong Kong in the end of October. Bummer...The rest are OK.
Five of the nine leathers have de-coloured or are de-colouring. Of the remaining four, one is likely to de-colour, ie, the largest one. The remaining three show no sign of de-colouring at present.
For the leather goldfish which have de-coloured, one is orange, two are golden yellow, two are light beige yellow, one of the beige yellow is the leather with the most complete set of fins. That is, the one with the dorsal fin in the first two leather goldfish that I purchased. The other finless leather from these two is still bronze green in colour.
Here are quick snaps of them in their own tank, so clarity is not great, as I didn't take them out and photograph them individually in clear water. Haven't got time at the moment.
PS: I haven't seen anymore leather goldfish since July, when I acquired these two batches. They are still very precious to me, as I really don't know how many leather goldfish really exist in the world, at least from the view point that they are recognised and the leather breed being maintained.
Best regards,
Bill
