ok, this blue snakeskin at 3.5 inches was fine one minute and then started darting around the tank bashing into everything in sight, i netted him in a big net and left him in it suspended in the tank so it wouldnt harm itself as this was 10.30 last night and too late to do anything about it . this morning it was dead. it was in a 70 gal tank with 7 other similar sized stendker bred fish, hma water, 40% wc every day, fish was feeding well on beefheart and granules along with the others, no darkness or flicking, no funny poos, i had had it a couple of months and it had grown well along with the others. there were absolutely no signs that it was ill untill this darting about started last night. all the remaining fish in the tank are fine. i think i have had this some time ago with another fish, anybody any ideas as to what causes this ? if i was using treated tapwater i would of sworn that was the cause (heavy metals), but it has always been in hma water. ph 7.2 gh 3 kh 1 mature filters, ammonia etc all good.
