i bought 3 C moorii a few months ago and theyve been doing well. a couple of days ago one turns dark but otherwise seems fine. it was the biggest so i figured he was showing off. found it dead a few hours ago. all in one peice, still dark, not bloated, stomach not sunken in, and no visible disease. only thing i could see was the tips of his fins and tails torn. not like with fin rot, more like fighting damage. nothing severe though. i have an aggressive crabro and kenyi who were probably picking on him but i havent witnessed any conflicts.
What are your thoughts. anything i should look out for what i havent seen. Water seems fine. all other 40 fish seem fine.
i had an OB peacock with the same signs but nothing turned out.
 
No clue sorry. Though I have noticed that often fish will darken there color right before they die... (The first time I was treating one with clout and I thought he was getting better.)
