Stress bars showing intensely, they may go off their food, maniacal swimming and thrashing around the tank, turning dark are a few ways that indicate stress. Some fish like Red turquois, and any of the wild strains, including domestic wild types, if extremely stressed will actually lose the red in their eyes.

Find the source of the problem. Incorrect water parameters, bad food, shadows, tankmates, disease are things to look at.
