Hello. I have a 46 gal tank.
Sand.
Planted.
About 10 fish.

Problem:
I have two spotted pim cats.
Over the last week or less I have noticed one has began losing color and turning a tiny of yellow.
The other looks normal.
No behavior difference noticed.

Background:
They were almost the first species I put in the tank.
My tank has Been running for about 4 months.
Nothing has been added or changed in the tank since I noticed the loss of color....


Ideas? Should I be concerned?

Ps. Water tested at least weekly. Seems fine except small (.25) amount of ammonia from time to time.
 
I've also just noticed my female sword tail is gone from the tank. Unsure if that's related.

Could the pim cat of ate the swordtail?

Both 2 to 2.5" in size.
 
Looks to be getting worse and lays around all day.

When I drop food in he goes just as crazy as the Pim catfish always have/do, but then after feeding goes back to laying around.

Still really losing color/tinting yellow
