I lost my male spotted mandarin last night, I just bought it yesterday. No idea on the cause of death, but it was all torn up and ripped apart. I dunno if it was caused by crabs before or during death, but I don’t believe it was the scorpionfish that tried to eat it, it’s been living with a female spotted mandarin for the past few months so it probably wouldn’t have had a go at the male mandarin. Maybe the mandarin was sucked into the wave maker and spat back out, but this never happened to the female mandarin.
What I’m concerned about is if the dead mandarin released any toxins into the water after death. I haven’t noticed anything, such as cloudy water, other dead fish or a bad smell, but maybe it’s something that’ll manifest eventually?
