Woke up this morning to a dead dwarf gourami. This was rather suprising as he has been fine recently.. eating well, good coloration, etc. When I found him, here is how he looked:
- nose down, curved body, clamped fins.
- hard as a rock as if muscles had siezed at time of death.
- pale, edges of body/fins turned a light brown, nose and mouth area were black.
Water params:
- pH = 7.4
- ammonia = 0
- nitrite = 0
- nitrate = 10-20ppm
- phosphates (had the kit, may as well use it) = 0
Any ideas on what may have caused this? Like I said, as of about 10:30pm last night, he was fine.
I am getting extraordinarily frustrated...
