I came home from work today to find one of my axies floating lifelessly at the top of the tank. The other two were just swimming along the bottom, minding their own business.
I took him out with the net and inspected him (partially hoping that he'd suddenly start squirming again), and couldn't find anything wrong with him really. All legs, gills, and fins were intact. No fungus, no cuts that I could see, but I did notice one little thing. He was a golden, and around 3 inches, so quite transparent. Inside his head, around the area where I think his brain is, were two noticable red dots of different sizes that I hadn't seen before. The little veins in his body were also extremely prominent.
I don't know if this could point towards the cause? I'm worried about my other two axies.
He had looked perfect in the morning, and when I came home he was dead
I took him out, did a cleaning/water change, and fed the other two. They ate normally, seem fine, but then again, so did Julio.
I took pictures while I was inspecting him, and if anyone thinks that seeing them will help them get a better idea of what I'm describing then let me know and I'll post them. I just want to make sure that people WANT to see them instead of just putting up pictures of a dead axie that some may not want to stumble upon.
I'm keeping a close eye on my other two. I don't think I could loose another
