What to look for: Your fish is loosing its colour and developing horizontal stripes.

What this could mean: If your fighting fish is loosing his colour it is likely that your fish is suffering from stress. This can be caused by changes in the water, a new addition to the tank that your fish does not like or problems with water temperature.fighting fish loss of colour

What can you do? Fighting fish can suffer from stress and just as in humans when they are stressed this can result in physical symptoms. The sorts of things that can cause stress to fighting fish can include changes in the water temperature or to their habitat. Think about when you started noticing these symptoms and you will probably find it associated with adding a new fish to an established aquarium, not ensuring that water added to the tank is the same temperature as the water already in it, or even something as simply as adding a new decorative ornament to the tank. To relieve the stress either remove the offending object, spend time returning the tank to its optimum levels for ammonia, nitrites, temperature and other chemicals and add some aquarium salt to the tank water which is a natural stress reliever for fighting fish.
