I have to juvenile angelfish bought silver with black stripes on one of the the stripes have faded away a lot since yesterday... None of the other fish were harassing him are anything so don't think it is from other fish making him stressed... Did a water change yesterday an check ammonia an all today all seems good does anyone know what this might be?

Its normal the stripy angels tend to lose and gain their stripes dependant on mood, I found the calmer they were, the less obvious their stripes were... get them excited or stressed and their stripes come back lol. When you offer them food, watch and see if his stripes come back... its a bit weird but fairly normal.

stripes will show sometimes depending on their mood....no worries
 
edit....MBOU just beat me to it
