dead ornate :(

[freshwaterfishing]

I had an ornate for about 12 hours. It was cool but i still dont know whatever happened to it. It was just chilling then i went out for a smoke and by the time i came back in the house he was belli up in the fish tank. I never once noticed something gonig after it or vise versa. Very weird im scared to buy another one.

have you check your water parameters?

Like said before check water conditions and what was it being housed with maybe tankmates had something to do with it.
Sorry for the loss

When was your last gravel wash/water change? Increases in ammonia/nitrites can be tolerated by existing tank occupants (to a degree) but, can be detrimental to new additions that haven't had the opportunity to adjust to slowly rising levels.

After only 12 hours my lfs would give me store credit if my water params checked out.
