Hi Gemma1984, I've had five goldfish for a couple of years now and two of them constantly change colour. I don't mean they go from red to white or anything that drastic, but one of them which started off all gold (a fantail) has started getting extra black markings, and another fish which started off vivid black, gold, yellow and white in colour has gradually faded, then his colours started to come back in different places, etc.
If you really think it's a disease rather than natural colour change, is there a good petshop nearby that might be able to help rather than the expense of taking him to the vet? You could also try your local library for books on the subject. If not, then I'd suggest taking him to the vet just to put your mind at rest. Some would say that for the price of a new fish it's not worth it, but I don't believe in letting any living thing suffer.
