Many fish lose their color when stressed. Any other symptoms, or is it just the color loss?

I'm sorry. I really don't know. Hopefully someone else will come on with some info.

Do you have a digital camera that can take decent macro pics? If so, you could post one, that might give people a better idea of what's going on.

They show the color, which isn't quite as bad as I was picturing.

Where did you get the tetras from? I almost wonder if it's just old. Not positive, just a theory.

It might just be a generic illness (we worry a lot about the ones that are easy to diagnose, but I'm sure fish have as wide of a range of infections as people do) that it's trying to get over.
Vitachem (vitamin supplements) and high quality food (Omega One, if you can get your hands on it) would be good ways to help it recover, if such a thing is possible.
