A long time ago I read that the golden color occurred in wild fish that
were infested with metacercaria of a certanin species of fluke.  The
metacercaria are not noticably harmful to the tetra, since they are in a
"resting" stage, waiting for their tetra to be ingested by the final host,
whatever that is.
