One of mine did that 2 years ago. I also thought it was sick but it has stayed white for 2 years. I think it looks good.

You can upload them to photobucket, thats what I do. Or you can send them to me and I'll upload them for yah. Pm me and i'll give you my email if you want to do that.

He was orange when I bought him.

It still has a tint of orange to it, I do think it looks neat since its not something too common. If you use photobucket you can resize the picture in your album using the edit tab. I'll see if i can get a snap shot of mine real quick.

I bought all of mine as 1.5" orange feeder goldfish. 3 of them were comets, 2 common. And this one turned white.
