Hello there! Yesterday my female golden Lyretail looked perfectly fine, but today she is actig the same but have lost A LOT of her color, it was vert noticiable! She is still eating and swimming around but instead of being her golden orange color she is now a pastey orange. Does this normally happen? WHat is wrong? Her body looks fine, but the top of her mouth looks a little dried out like the scales, dunno if it just looks like that cuz of the color change.
Help!
 
They can go pale when they are stressed, has she recently given birth, heavily pregnant or being bullied by any other fish in the tank? Are her fins clamped to her body?

well I dont think she went into birth yet, shes not heavely pregant but im pretty sure swhe is pregant. And not being bullied either shes the biggest so all the other fish prett much leave her alone. Fins are cramped either :( its so weird how pale she got overnight
 
is it possible to get a pic?
I can later on but my camera battery is dead and im leaving for a horse show now but Ill get one when I get home. I just checked on her now after my shower and she looks a little better after she ate, is this normal?
