if its a new tank set-up try checking the nitrite levels, it also might just be stress of a new environment.

my medication answer to almost everything is salt i might try that to see if it will relieve some of the stress that might be causing them to loose their colour. make sure its De-Ionized salt and add it at a rate of 1cup per 50g of water. this solution is safe for most aquatic critters and live plants.

it usualy can take a lil while for fish to get used to their new surroundings. It may have taken a few days for the physcical signs of stress to appear
