but mother commited suicide with fries

[flyclassic22]

i thought this was the 7th 8th of spawning, it is successful, they laid eggs, hatch them i can see the fries swimming but until one moment
and somehow the female suddenly hides in a corner,they started eating the fries, a day later she died. all fries are dead too, left my pathetic male alone... not sure why...
i've try adding salt and some water change when i saw her hiding in a corner, plus heater too, but she cannot make it.........
sigh.... i dunno why she died after so much hardwork of guarding eggs, fanning them, hatching them...
body was dark and started decaying before she died......
sad case

Mother died in a couple of days, but dad did not get sick? Internal bacterial infection maybe? Did the other adult that died have the same symptoms? (different post)

the male wasn't sick the same way.............
only the female passed away, in the breeding tank.. left the male, now i've shifted the male back to community

yup the another who died , died the same way, but that was like 3 weeks before one of my pair died,
