I dont know what the disease is called, but I lost 2 of these fish - one a few days after I got it, a large specimen around 5 inches in length; and another one today afternoon that was one of the smaller two in my tank about 3 inches in length. Both were swimming upside down and the underbellies of the fish seemed slightly bloated with the scales not sticking out like in a big way, but very slightly. One of the fins had a red corner, like it had been hurt, but I could not tell.

The bigger one I euthanized, the smaller one that died today was swimming upside down in the morning and passed away in the afternoon.

Sorry clowny

Cant remember, do you have test kits and could we get numbers?

The red around the fins and the slightly bloated bellies sound a bit like bacterial issues. The red on the fins especially smacks a bit of bacterial septicemia.
