Firefish died unexpectedly.

[wzf106]

Came down this afternoon with my firefish stuck to my gyre. Not sure what killed him. No obvious signs of wounds. Been in the tank for about 3 months. Was out and eating earlier this morning and afternoon. Anyone have any ideas? All other fish seems normal

these are that one fish I’ve tried added many times and they always end up on the hardwood floor or carpet.

I always have a tough time keeping these alive, however my psycho Clownfish is suspect.

Mine is reclusive and I constantly wonder about his health. It's supposed to be a easy fish. They always seem to die from jumping or unexpectedly for me. I won't buy them ever again. But they are pretty

Have you tested water? are fish gasping of any kind? Could be the fire fish was sensitive to something. though I will agree with @dadnjesse clowns can be nasty guys.

No gasping that I noticed.

In addition to being Slightly this, there is a dark spot in the stomach area which may suggest a possiblee internal infection or other isse and in turn being in distress got drawn into the pwerhead current. As it is difficult to assess a dead fish, this is a theory as to what may have happened

Never had any luck with these. Maybe kept one a year at most and I've had no trouble with other fish that were supposed to be more challenging like copperband and bicolor angel.

interesting. I think @vetteguy53081 is on to something with the dark spot.
