#fishmedicHi I have gone to my tank and found my powder blue dead on the sand. I have took him out of the tank when I have looked at him he as blood coming from is gills. I have never seen this before on a fish why as this happened, can anybody please help me. I have done a test for ammonia and it as come back clear. I am gutted as he was a stunning fish and one of my favourites in the tank. He was feeding yesterday and swimming around like he normally would.

Nope my other fish seem fine swimming around and eating. Nope I haven’t put any meds in my tank.
Yeah I will be doing water changes, Yh gonna see what the experts say. As I have no clue why this as happened or why he as blood coming from his gills
There is something wrong regarding water chemistry
Nope nothing was on the fish it was just the blood coming from his gills that all I saw, nothing else was on him. The fish was acting fine he was eating and swimming around woke up this morning and found him dead on the sand
I have had him nearly a year now. Yeah it was established already in fish tank as got him from someone else tank as he was shutting is tank down. And as been fine no concerns, are like a pig and swimming around. Was shocked to see him dead on the sand as no signs that something was wrong with him.This wasn’t api test.
This is not flukes or ammonia burn but often a fish may bleed or hemorhage when laboring for last breaths. It is hard to determine cause with a dead fish but assume. Some other possibilities are:Hi I have gone to my tank and found my powder blue dead on the sand. I have took him out of the tank when I have looked at him he as blood coming from is gills.

Yep it is hard when just suddenly dies. Yeah didn’t think it would be ammonia or flukes thank you. Okay so could be a lot of things just one of them things that happen in the hobby. Yh maybe he got injured during the night guess we never know what happens but good to know what might have happened to him for him to die. Thank you
