Today I found one of my Glowlight Tetras dead missing its eyes, and i can see right through its head. Does anyone know what this is, because im worried it may be a disease that will kill the rest of my fish

Thankyou

what other fish do you have in the tank and what are your ammonia, nitrate and nitrite readings?

I now have 3 rosy barbs and 5 glowlight tetras. One of my barbs died recently of Ich, but the tetra shows no signs of it. My tank is 28L and I unfortunately cant give you the ammonia etc. readings


I hope this helps.

You really need a test kit; I'd guess there will be some ammonia present in the water as you don't know how long the fish had been dead. It could have died from anything, really. However unpleasant this may seem, once a fish is dead, its tankmates will rarely waste any time getting rid of it.
