    Default Sudden Death?

    I have been really proud of my 40+ fry. Zero death since beginning. Been feeding them really good and doing water changes every other day. It's been 2.5 months. After a really good feeding I was enjoying watching them swimming then the unthinkable happen. One of the biggest and heathier ones suddenly fell on his side and died? What? Anyone seen this happen before? Other fish seem ok. The only action I've taken so far is I added prime

    Is it possible he ate too big of a piece of beefheart?

    Woke up this morning and all the fish are fine. Just the one larger fish died. Curious if anyone here has experienced this. I am baffled!

    It happens... Keep an eye on parameters and bump water changes if you can as a precaution.
    I had a pleco for a few years that would dance for me every night when I would feed algae wafers. He looked perfect as usual when I fed one evening and the next morning he was dead.
    I didn't suffer any other losses in the tank or see any signs of problems.

    It was strange. I was watching him then suddenly he flopped on him side. Dead in seconds
