    Molly? Do you mean moor?

    GOldfish change color. Black is a very unstable color and usually goes gold. Gold can sometimes go silver.

    It's mostly genetics, so don't worry, they're fine!

    You mean Black Moor yes? The black colour is actually quite unstable genetically and will often revert to the gold/bronze colour.

    Goldfish will often turn to silver, there's a dozen reasons banded about as to why it happens, being kept in the dark with not enough UV, diet, surroundings, water quality, stress and old age are all reasons.
