So my pearl died in less than 24 hours and seem and looked fine the day before. Yesterday when I got home and the light came on I noticed his top fin was quite damaged and looked white. Today when I got home the whiteness spread quite a bit and he passed away. Can someone help me in understanding what happened or went wrong? It's a 45 gal long with 7 corry 18 rasboras 18 cardinals 2 gbr 6 odssa barbs n maybe 8 white clouds. I did have 4 congos in there prior to the pearl passing as I initially thought they were the culprits as they love changing each other and nipping. I gave them away today I know they should be in a bigger pack anyways The tank is well established and haven't had many problems at all.

It is a planted tank and I'm running a 405&306 canisters for filtration. I don't let my nitrates get over 40 water change day is tomorrow

Had you seen any nipping going on with the pearl or ragged looking fins before that or general harassment?
