Fishspawn Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 I got home last night and found my longfin danio had suddenly died. He was housed with 2 other danios (both fine) and a few guppies. Nitrates, nitrites, ammonia all good, ph a little high but nothing bad. I've noticed there's a lot of fine slime around the sides of the tank lately, annoyingly making it hard for the filter to stay attached. The danio was a tad bloated, floting and i noticed his gills were a tad red as were the points of his body where the fins are. Totally miffed! Any ideas?

Caryl Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 Hard to tell without knowing if the redness and bloating was present before the fish died or a result of floating dead for a few hours before you saw it. Unless you have a good microscope and know how to disect a fish (and then understand what you are looking at) it will probably remain a random, unexplained death :-?
