Sorry man, that sucks. Especially when you're trying to prevent it.

Glad you have other piranhas you can fall back on

EPSOM SALT draws fluid from the body and is basically an old school last resort way/hope to save a fish.

Aquarium salt like API is a better idea but not knowing the real problems means you don't know the correct treatment! At that point you can only guess. If your introducing feeders or other un quarantined fish this may be the cause of it! It may have got picked on and stressed to death leading to eventual symptoms. At that point clean water and stress coat could of helped. At least you tried. Get that bigger tank ASAP

I never fed/feed them live animals. Only frozen fish/meat.
but before I fed them dry shrimps, now I don't.
I think if i didn't treat it with epsom salt, it is still living.

Do you think it had eggs? I had a red do this and it got killed and its belly was full of eggs.

No, I don't think it had eggs because it is only 5 months old.
