so, I was doing my usual morning rounds this morning, and found one of my 4 musks dead. not sure what happened, everyone's been happy, healthy and eating just fine. param's check out. the thing of interest though is that his head/neck look like it 'exploded' - thats the only way I can describe. here is a pic. any feedback/input would be greatly appreciated
Unfortunately, I've already gotten rid of him. I didn't want to leave him in the water all day, and I discovered him at 730 AM EST. Just now getting around to posting.
It still have to breathe air, if for some reason it could not get up the the surface for air, it would drowned. Then the others might have scavenged on him

they've never had any trouble getting to the surface for air. there's driftwood at the top of the tank for them to come out to. matter of fact, last night, he was up on the driftwood when I fed everyone last night. no unusual behavior spotted either.
Did you know the sex? Those guys are not the best swimmers and I have had males drown females and rival males before during aggressive breeding behavior.
