just got him today, has yet to be named, though. He is rather afraid of me at the moment but warmed up to the two orandas quite fast.

i do not think this one will change color, however, that little black lace on his fin will gone very soon, the red will remain.

Generally, if the bourdry of two colors on a fish is very obvious and clear, it will not fade or change. Otherwise , mostly the red will fade. or if the fish is black will trun to yellow or white

He looks almost exactly like mine.....which is medium going on large. He was the best looking one in the bunch when I bought him. The red and white is still the way it was when I bought him at a smaller size. Make sure you feed him high quality food. Right now, among other things, I'm feeding mine a staple of Hikari Oranda Gold.

Nice fish and good luck with him/her in the future. good.gif

Here are the ryukin colors that I've seen:
Red (or Orange)
Red/White
Red/Black
White
Black
Blue (Silver) -- video at Aquarama 2007
Calico (Red/White/Black)
Tri-color (Red/White/Black)
Yellow
Yellow/Black
White/Black -- here's a video of one at this year's Aquarama
Chocolate (Brown)
and probably more that I'm not remembering just now, as well obscure and rare ones like Green

So, pretty much almost all of the same colors as all goldfish can come in, surprise, surprise. I think the only goldfish coloration that I haven't seen on a ryukin is the blue/chocolate combo. The reds, red/whites, and calicos are by far the most common.

Edit: adding more colors as I think of them
Edit: added video for blue

I'm not making any of it up in the least. All of those are colors that I have seen either in person or in photographs. I could try finding photos and links to post for each one, I guess, like I did with the white/black. ;p
