I have a school of ornate tetras there's one male that is aggressive towards other males while he's hanging out next to a female, he also loses his coloring one day but it's back the next, I see no eggs or anything for him to be acting this way but him losing his color (almost white with no red) has me wondering if he could be ill, I will try to get a pic but him and the female are hunkered down in a thick part of the plants
Not sure he's unhealthy

I wouldn't think you'll find eggs if they are breeding..I think tetras are egg scatterers ?
The last pic looks like a lemon with the other tetras ?
The first picture looks like a healthy fish IMO ..

Yeah his colors back today, yesterday he was almost White with no color, just a faint pink in the tail, all Parameters are perfect so I dint know why he was washed out yesterday and the day before yesterday.
The lemons hang with the ornates but in the last picture the 2 im talking about are at the back wall almost out of the picture.
Update that same fish did pass one night after we lost power for 3 hours, I kept the tank from cooling down but I think he was being bullied and really stressed out, I'm thinking when the power cut out it sent him Over the edge stress wise (probably didn't help my nephew shined a super bright light in the tank when they were in the dark for 2 hours at that time which spooked the fish badly) he was getting stuck to the filter and swimming very oddly.
