Giant danio question

**fair warning, dead fish pictures below** I ment to mention that in the headline but forgot.


I’ve lost two of these guys this year. Both times their bellies look bloated, but that maybe just because I don’t find them till morning. The first one I lost was months ago so I don’t believe the deaths are related to an illness. But I do wonder if my terrors could be to blame, or if these are eggy females that have gone septic?
This time I looked the little guy over and saw what looks like bleeding under the scales.


This is the other side.

Any ideas what could have caused the random death?
I’ll check the water levels before I do their water change. Nothing new has been added, everyone else is doing great. The only change in the tank is that there are nearly 50 gt fry plus both female terrors have wigglers again. That’s what makes me think this could have been from my large female being protective. If that’s the case I’m not worried about the rest. But if this is because I’m losing eggy females is there anything I can do?

Looks like terror got em.

I agree with pond 9 the terrors especially with young in the tank

Doubt it's the terrors, they don't look Travis either, maybe they just over ate (I assume they get the lions share of the food in the tank?)

I doubt they over ate. I don’t feed the schoolers very often. And they rarely grab the terrors food before they rush up and eat it.
That’s why I was thinking it was either the terrors or a possible internal infection

Could be internal infection, how long you have them so far?

3 of them I’ve had for about a year now and I had 6 that were left in less then an inch of water in the 135g when I went to pick it up. I couldn’t believe there was fish in there. So who knows how old they are. And I honestly can’t tell the two groups apart now. So I’m not sure what two have died.

Might of been the group of six, who knows what they've been thru, poor things

That would be my guess too. I’m surprised they all lived and survived the hours without oxygen and hardly enough water to stay wet.
