Silver scat got rabies

[ltvills]

Ok i have one Silver scat in my Fw tank and went absolutely spastic and chased and nipped everyone and took an eye out of my fresh water scissor tail which is still alive. (thank god! )

but all of a sudden it dies....

there's your problem they are brackish

Yep, they are brackish. I have never seen one flip like that though. How large is the tank and how large was he?

Indeed I have even seen mollies snap and kill everything if they weren't in brackish water.

What is his tank size, tank mates, his size, their size and what/how often do you feed?

3" is definately no longer a younger fish. the disease (if there was one) and the behavior are secondary. that scat needed salt. and other scats for it to school with would have helped as well.

Was he acclimated properly ,how long was he in fresh water
