Sooo they were swimming round, all healthy looking, zipping and such, nice colour.. Fed them (granules).. Then maybe an hour later, one was dead on the bottom of the tank on the sand.. Still all healthy looking, nice colour.. except for the fact it was dead :fshi:

Choked? :dno: Or some ninja, symptomless killer virus that's now in the tank?

PS, got them a couple days ago, didn't quarantine, but they had a feed on bloodworms their first night.. Come to think of it, one did 'tick' a bit that night? Same one?

You won't have any idea what it was without a thorough dissection - which is unlikely.

It could be any number of things, including one of them being whacked a little hard with the net when being caught, or being injured in some way during the process of catching, bagging, transporting.

Good excuse to recycle an old post..."Could be stroke, heart attack, brain tumor, congenital heart arythmia, pulmonary embolism, aneurysm...Or maybe just couldn't take it anymore and drowned himself...."
