But why? The fish was a fairly standard goldfish with a nice comet type
tail. It was about two years old and shared an 18x12x12 tank with 5
Whitecloud. I've been feeding with Tetrafin.

The goldfish "jerome" has never exhibited any disease symptoms, no
whitespot, no finrot, no slime disease, no clamp fin. All the Whitecloud
have always demonstrated good health.

Over the last few weeks Jerome started to slow down and stopped feeding over
the past couple of days and is body (not fins though) started to droop.
Yesterday morning the fish was curled up on the bottom of the tank barely
alive. The gills were nice and bright. Now Jerome is dead.

I've not come across this before - and take his as a knock to personal pride
in my husbandry!

The Whitecloud are all perfectly fine exhibiting none of the symptoms.

Any ideas what this was?

TIA

Steve

Was there a filter in the tank? Also have you tested your water parameters?
(Should always be the first port of call if there is a problem).

Did you test for HIV? It is possible Jerome was Homosexual.

I'm sorry the local TROLL , Roy, has impersonated my screen name using
one of his many alternate email addresses.

Iwould never say such a stupid thing, and I'm sorry if you thought it
this post was made by me.
Just check the emails....mine will always be the same, as his changes
daily because they keep getting banned for abuse.

sigh. Jerome might have been a Jenny and I too have found perfectly healthy koi just
DEAD, not a mark on them. But when I did a necropsy I found infected eggs. The only
sign of egg problems is the back end of the fish, the underside where the vent is
begins to look "dumpy". Often running the temp up, feeding antibiotic food and a bit
of Epsom salts in the water will help the fish get the eggs out. with no male to
"drive her" to lay the eggs they get bound. I'm sorry. Fish are like birds, like my
finches in that they look great and then I find them feet up on the bottom of the
cage. they maybe have one day of sitting scrunched under the light. and yeah, a lot
of finch problems are egg binding. Ingrid
