Is he getting picked on in your tank? What are the tankmaters? What is your alpha male?

Not really but I think It is cause From the stress from the other fish. They arnt picking on him but they are double the size of him and I think the main one creating him to be stressed is the rusty

If they are a lot bigger than him then he may be coloring down to keep from being noticed. Once he gets bigger he should color up again.

Hopefully its color will come back. The before pics show some potential to be a great looking fish.
