Very Sad Day today

[Wahoo]

My 15" Fat Ornate Bichir Died today. Not sure about the real cause though there are red bruised at the side of its body and the bottom part of its body. I am not in the impression of the other bicher bully her since she is the most aggressive one and the biggest one among my stock of 5 (2 senegal 8-9", 1 del 10", 1 endli 12" all in 75gals for 2 years). I'll try to post some pics later I need to clean its body and prepare him for body preservation.

Any suggestions for the preservation of my bichir are most welcome.

Thanks azura, I think I have a jinx on ornates, my 1st was jump out of the tank, then my 2nd, 3rd and this one has a weird kind of death, though the 2nd and 3rd one doesn't have bruises on them. Guess I need to look for another one in my LFS.

Sorry for your loss.
I'd think that having that many large fish in such a small tank would have a part in the deaths though.
