Found my beloved asian aro dead one morning. Decided to do a postmortem to find out cause of death.

It was not eating well for a few days and died but the rest of the aros are doing well. She was about 3 years old. I didn't expect anything like this, so much of eggs in the stomach!!!! Is it because it couldn't release the eggs or premature egg production?

Have anybody experienced this?

:cry: :cry:

i suspect a nutrient deficiency, my theory is she was lacking what she needed to form and expell the eggs correctly, which led to her demise :(

sorry bro:cry:
