I have a 9" tig since it was about 4" but as it is growing the stripes beginning to slowly fade away from the head on down on both sides of it. Is there an infection of any kind? All the other fish in the tank including an arowana, gars are doing fine. It is eating very well on shrimps and show no sign of illness. Please advice. Thanks.

Fish are born albino. NOT turn albino.

Yeah...that was a joke. And their eyes don't turn red either.
