Guppysnail Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I’m sorry for your loss. Have you added anything new? Done something different? Fed new food? Etc? The loss of coloration to that degree in fish is extreme stress in my experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 (edited) I seem to remember seeing something similar in ember tetras loss of colour and going clear it was cause by a parasitic infection I would treat with paracleanse it's shrimp and snail safe do 2 courses of treatment 2 weeks apart you might have to do a third course depending of how your fish respond to treatment Edited February 11, 2022 by Colu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
