yes and mine didnt die for unknown reasons it starved.... pretty simple to determine why that happened, im sure there are good reasons why the fish dies when it does but because of the fishes nice baby blue color it attracts alot of people who dont know when a fish is starving , sick or infected so when the fish dies its unknown.

i never said this fish was for beginners but i also dont buy it that they just up and die in mass numbers for unknown reasons either.

out of the eight you had i bet most of their deaths was explainable

All fish deaths are explainable, except when the hobbyist can't explain it. Then it's unexplainable.
