One of my (orange) discus is loosing its colour. No one else in the tank are doing the same

They are on a diet of Tetrabits, New Life Spectrum (Discus Formula) and Bloodworms

Should I be worried? How can I get him to colour up? Any additional comments are much appreciated!

Thanks
Dave

Are these all the same variety of discus - all orange pigeons? If no, then the orange one may have been colorfed to intensify color. You can get back color with axastanthin, naturose, etc. Tetrabits alone and time will add some color. If all are pigeons and this is the only one loosing color then I would suspect an illness.

We have four Marlboroughs (of the 11 discus). Only one is becomming faded. I will be keeping a close look on him/her

Thanks!
