Sudden death!

Michael (bala shark) has been fine all day.
Just looked in the tank.
Found him like this. Dead.
Does anyone know what this Mark is???
There are guppies in the tank. I'm worried about them now.

Oh no! :-(
I have Balas myself. Well out of 3 I have one left unfortunately. Im sorry he died...

I know think that the other one has White spot too.
I got it wrong. It's actually Jackson that died.
The guppies seem ok. But then so did the shark.

How big is the tank? How long has the bala shark been in there?

They have been in for just over a week.
The guppies about 6 weeks.
Pwc done every week without fail. Tapsafe used.
Water tests have always been fine.
The tank is 64L. Now before you say it's not big enough, I'm aware of that. An upgrade is being looked into. The damage was already done so to speak.
I'm just concerned as to what killed him.
And where to go from here. I will never buy fish from pets at home again. Two deaths in little over a week.
The other shark appears to have White spots on his tail. At a guess ich?

Sick guppy now!!
Just had to remove BB. (buzzy bee) from the tank. He's now in QT.
He is sticking to the side of the tank. Not swimming well. Was also wedged at the top of the filter.
It's bad enough to loose the sharks. Now my guppies are going to follow the same route. These are the prettiest guppies I've seen around
I'm off to get the water tested now.
Apologies but can little afford a test kit at present. The water is tested every week. And pwc done every week too.
I've just done a 25% pwc to see what happens with the remaining inhabitants.

Gutted doesnt even cover it!
