Fish Loosing Its Colour

[cybortech]

Hello,

One of my TBs seems to have lost its striking green colour. It looks alot paler than the rest. Is this some sort of disease?

Thanks.

Can you post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph.

Do you mean the background dark pigment, or the green "sparkles"?

Hello,

Wilder

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5-10
PH seems to be fluctuating between 6.6 - 7.0

The dark background seems to be fading to a light green.

My RTB shark seems to have a problem also not moving very well for the past two days just seems to sit there. It use to be quite active. Noticed tonight a rather long white stringy waste hanging from it. Does not appear right to me.

Help appreciated.

Long stringy white poo can mean a number of things, constipation, internal parasites, or bacterial infection, any fish layed on the gravel on there sides, check the anus to see if it's enlarged or red and inflamed.
Any signs of the tummy being bloated.
Though if the are losing there colour i would say it's a bacterial infection.
