Fading colors on black phantom tetra

So many fish can vary their colors, almost chameleon like - due to mood, health, fear, when they sleep, light, spawning, etc. Also, mant species fade as they age, while others become more brilliant. I have experienced the daily color changes with black skirts as you have described - I have also noticed that they tend to fade a bit in general as they get older. I wouldn't worry about it....
my fish seem to be faded at first when they've been in the dark. after the light has been on for a little bit their colors perk back up
