I started a new tank with american chiclid tank with 4 peacock bass all my pb died but my american chiclids are fine wondering why is that???
 
Hello; Also it is common for a dead fish to be picked apart after it dies. The eyes get eaten out by other fish, snails or whatever. I have found essentially skeletons.

Your aquarium may not be fully cycled . Ammonia,Nitrite should be zero and also should have a reading of sign of Nitrates.
 
The PB bass died because of levels of ammonia or nitrites.
Sorry for your loss
