i have no idea why...i had it for years and it survived power outages and bad water early in its life but later on it had more open room and better water quality then it ever did and went from healthy one day to not eating and dead the next...

there is not really a disease fish get from not enough swimming room... it had clean water and as much as another couple feet woulda been nice it is definitely not a reason for it to die.

It was obviously stressed from not having enough room. A stressed fish easily gets sick

thanks for the diagnosis... i have really been hoping for someone to come along and guess why my fish suddenly died almost a year after it happened.
