My Chili Red passed away today. Very sad.. had him for the past 1.5years. I was sleeping when my dad woke me up to tell me my fish had died. I quickly ran downstairs to check. Saw it upside down and lifeless. I remembered i bought him @ Purple Red Aquarium. Fish Cert from QH. Did a post mortem and found out the microchip was the cause of death. The vet told me that most fishes are tagged on the back, funny mine was tagged on the stomach, and because it was tagged on the stomache, it got an infection on the swim bladder and because the swim bladder was infected it was swollen,causing heart veins to be unable to pump blood normally and therefore resulting in a small heart. And if the heart can't pump blood normally the fish will die.
Here are the pics.
