woke up this morning and found my silver aro dead . the two big oscars are perfectly healthy but looking mighty guilty.checked the water parimeters ,temp elec in the water but nothing wrong all is spot on .he was fine last night and showing no symptoms at all.scales gills and eyes were all ok .so any ideas on his death ?

last pic of my big boy. he was just over 52cm long 5cm high and nearly year and half old.

thanks all .it does suck ,
no marks scratches or bites .was fed the same food and amounts for the last year nearly ,1 teaspoon hikari aro sticks mixed with hikari gold every night exept wed.

any way such is life .will move the GT and JAG back in with the OSCARS now that they cant get eaten and and try something new with one of the 1.5m tanks. mabe a planted amazon bio type with tons of neons and and all the sub 5cm fish that normaly are food in my tanks .will still decide

Eish... Sorry for your loss dude. No idea what may have happened I'm afraid. I also lost a fish recently and he was 100% fine before that...
