Where the sun never shines
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.
 
I dont have a tig, but my b. jur he has pretty much lost his bright colors and stripes, I herd for them it can happen, and isnt bad. Im not too sure about a tig. though, Im sorry
 
That's interesting. Mine grows into more contrast as it gets bigger.

Do you have any pix?
