We have 4 oranda's in our bio orb tank (approx 30 litre ) for approx 6 months. One of the orange and white oranda's has turned lost most of its deep orange pigmentation but still looks healthy. Why? Are we doing something wrong?

Goldfish often change colors, it depends on the fish itself and the genetic links. It many cases, it is nothing to be worried about - although some diseased fish will change colors as a first symptom. Just watch this fish closely. What size aquarium/pond is the fish in?

That's a very small tank for 4 goldfishes, which produce alot of waste.

Isn't that like 7 or so gallons? Goldfish should have about 20 gallons each and as a bare minimum.
