My condolences - RIP. Might want treat the water with aquarium salts rather than meds. The salt kills the free swimming parasites and thoose attached to the media and carbon.

That sounds the most probable. My guess would be he died sometime saturday. I hadn't thought about him hitting the glass as a cause of death, but it sounds very likely.

must be something freaked it out, rather a person or a pet or maybe even a rat on the hood (do you have glass lids?) or on the side and your fish was trying to get it and smashed into the glass and knocked itself out. I can't think of anything else that might have caused the scrape on its lower jaw that you have mentioned.

That cheers me up, LMAO. Although I do have glass hoods, I wouldn't have a had a rat on it. The only terrestrial pet I have is my cat, so there are no small animals in my house, he would kill them, but he is afraid of the fish tanks (rightfully so). I do agree, the rhom probably freaked out and smashed himself up, but there wasn't anyone down in the basement over the weekend. The only light he would have had would be the one from the ceiling and that is on a timer. I did see that there was an intake guard knocked off of the cascade filter, which makes me think he may have gone through there at a good rate of speed.very sorry to hear that man. i really feel bad...
it was the internal parasite meds like you said an over reaction...
