[aniketvaze74]

and also tell me which type of FH he is

 

[Red Devil Horde]

It could be a number of things.
Here's a few of my guesses:
Stress & maybe it's a fader.
There's a type of FH that's known to fade.

I can't tell you what type it is.

What happen to it's tail, & is there any other tank mates with him?

It is not a fader. Its a ZZ.

@OP: What are your water parameters? Tank mates? Tank size?

So ZZ never fade?

You still didn't answer my question on your water parameters.. I have a feeling you don't have a testing kit.

ZZ's can fade, but they have to have the fader gene in order to do so.
If you're wondering more about faders then read this.
