i have 2 black skirted tetra whane i left the house this morning and i just came back they are almost white my black angel fish was stuck to the filter this morning and im wondering if there is something going around!!!!!!! :-(
 
I don't know alot about your particular fish, but most fish will turn very pale/white when they are been stressed by somthing i.e bad water quality/fish bullying them at night/not enough oxygen at night etc.
I know with my neon tetras they are a little pale when i turn the lights on in the morning but this apparently is quite normal.

How many fish do you have, their individual numbers and their species/types in total?
What size tank are they in/how many gals does it hold?
When was the last time you tested for water quality and do you have the stats at hand i.e ammonia/nitrate/nitrite?
Is the tank new and if so how long has it been cycling for and how long did you wait before adding fish to it and did you add them all at once?
Are the fish displaying any other symtoms/strange behavior and if so what?

Just need a little more info to help thats all :)
 
Tetras are schooling fish and you need a minimum of 3 but preferable 6 for them to be happy. I don't think that has anything to do with your problem unless they are being bullied because there isn't a school to offer protection. It may be that they just don't feel safe and therefore are stressed out.
 
Can you please post water stats in ammonia,nitrite,nitrate,and ph, what size tank, how many fish and which type.
