My red tipped shark is pale colour?

[sunbot]

My red tipped shark was dark black when i first got him, now he is a pale silver colour why is this? plz help me. Im worried about him

 

[gadazobe]

One of the reasons that fish loose their colour is stress. Does he have anywhere to hide or is he being bullied by another fish?

 

[sunbot]

yes 1 of my guppies is chasing him around the tank every now and then he dose have 1 place to hide.plz help me still.

 

[gadazobe]

How big is the tank? and is there only one place for all the fish to hide or are there several places? Also, what else is in the tank with him?
