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
