Sorry to hear the news. It always is a kick to the pants but it hurts worse when there's little to forewarn you. Keep an eye on the rest!

i checked all the levels and everythings fine..i am thinking i might have added a little to much salt during last wc..but then more fish would have been effected..i think..
