Dead Serpae Neon

Hi all, found my first dead fish tonight. It was a Serpae Neon Tetra. It had bolgey eyes previously but otherwise looked healthy. The water quality is excellent, PH stable & no signs of any other serpaes or any fish at all looking unwell. Any suggestions about what it may have been? it is probably something common, I have had fish for a year now & first dead one so no experience with this.

sorry about your loss, the first fish is always hard :(

sounds like popeye which is bacterial. it can be fatal but normally the eyes pop out, get infected and thats what makes the fish die (gruesome huh?) pop eye isnt contagious i dont think and can be caused by a lot of things, some which we cant control.
