If they are orange with dark markings they mostly loose the markings. If the fish is a calico it doesn't change that much!

It depends largely on the individual fish. But it is quite common.

Once I get home this afternoon I can dig up some of the older pics of my Ryukin, because he went through several changes before settingly on the colors/markings he has now. Currently he is red and white, but there was a time when he was bright yellow and black.
