"bloat" , can u substantiate? Is that a disease or something? Or r u saying that cause it's got bloated tummy.

Though they can die when they can't digest, hence cause internal blockages.

U say it did not eat for a week. But it tummy is quite large. R u sure it didt swallow some thing ? Or may be it swallowed clone loach or syno catfish, and the spines done Some internal damage to your fish... Just a thought.
The gills and eyes look I'm good condition so it's even harder to guess why?

That is one nice tiger you lost there bro.

Bloat is an internal parasite commonly found in tropheus and petrochromis african cichlids. Clout is the most effective treatment, but often leads to death. Here's a good article: http://www.cichlidae.com/article.php?id=164

Never heard of it in dats though......

probably some sort of digestive problem/parasite ...do an autopsy..I bet soonest you'll open up its belly you'll find your answer.
