So I woke up to 3 of my channel catfish dead, and both of my pictus'..
Pictus were about 3", Channels were 5-6" each..

My FL gars were both fine, RTC is fine, Albino Asian RTC is fine, Pleco is fine, Striped Raphael is fine, Shovel Nose is fine
Gars about 8", RTC about 8", AARTC about 7", Pleco about 4", Raphael about 1", Shovel nose about 8"

Gars seem just fine, like nothing happened........
Shovel Nose won't leave the top of the water........
RTC and AARTC are just breathing pretty rapidly......
Raphael is just fine.........
Pleco is just fine.....

Does anyone have any idea what could have happened? I know some people may have think they were attacked by my larger fish, but I see no marks to prove it. Also, a weird thing, is 2 of my channels are like "standing up". Their tails are touching the sand, and they're pretty much pointing straight up like a pole.....

This sucks /: I loved my channels. They've grown so much since I bought them.

EDIT:

sorry for your loss man. I lost my channel today, and my sun cat yesterday. how your channel died is exactly how I found mine this morning.

have you made any changes in food or diet lately? introduced any new fish?
 
My 2 gars are fairly new.. and I just started using feeders, but neither the channels or pictus can eat them, and hikari balls or whatever lol. Idk. but i just started using them also
