That fish did not starve and died just in 1-2 days. He was extremely mal-nourish. Stomach shrunk in, thin with the dorsal area concave, he have been starving for weeks, either than or cyanide caught. Cyanide uncouple that metabolic. Digested eaten food but get no benefit from it.

It was quite thin, if it was eating well prior I have to think it had internal parasites. Feeding general cure and seachem focus soaked foods for 10-14 days can clear that up.

Sorry for the loss:(
