Did anything change recently (fish/plant additions, new equipment, etc)? How many are you keeping? Do the other fish look ok? In order to help we need more information. |

The Harlequin Rasbora is a schooling fish and should have a "bunch" of the same type of fish with it. They are more comfortable in schools, and have far less stress than a solitary one. If you have a school of them, then it might be an older fish with naturally fading coloration, or it might be a weaker fish succumbing to some medical problem.
