My 5 inch bristle nose cat is looking very sickly

How long do they live for? Mine is about 5 years old and is the biggest one ive seen. Hes at the front of my 179 gal planted and breathing very slowly.
 
He died yesterday..

But im still very interested because I have another 2.

Tankmates are 1 pleco, 2 bristlenose, 4 clown loaches, 2 kuli loaches, 4 yo yo loaches, 4 tiger barbs, 4 golden barbs, 10 cardinals, 12 tetra neons, 2 dwarf gourami, 2 angels and 1 peppermint cat.

Ph is 6.8, gh is 8, kh is 4, nitrate is 10ppm, ammonia is 0ppm.

My other cats seem very happy!
 
Sorry to hear about your loss. Did you test for nitrite? Did he have any other external symptoms? Bloating, swelling, scales sticking out, white patches?
