Pale Neon Tetra

[Mako]

One of my neon tetras has lost most of it's red colouration. All the others are fine, although one is starting to look a bit patchy. Apart from the colour, he is otherwise fine, maybe hiding a bit more than usual, although that could just be me being paranoid! I had a breakout of ich about 2 weeks ago, which I treat and it all cleared up fine. Just wondered if anyone could tell me what could be wrong with him.
Thanks

maybe stress from the parasite or a drop in water conditions could cause teh color change. Or it could be diet related

Neon tetra deseas. It is characterised by the "draining" away of color and can spread to barbs, tetras, and danios but it is most commonly seen in neons and cardinals.

I think that happened to my neons. One of them had a tail that turned white and became deformed. It was really sad.
