Yesterday lunch time one of my blue rams was acting strange he was just sitting on the bottom in a corner hiding away from everything . I went Out for the afternoon and when we got back the fish had moved and seemed to be swimming around
Woke up this morning and it was in the same corner - dead

Water stats are 0 ammonia 0 nitrites 10 nitrates

No recent additions

Any ideas?

Should I do a water change anyway with having a fish die ? It's the first one I've lost since having my tank set up
 
If you are unsure on how long the fish was dead for i would recommend a fast 10-20% w/c :)
 
Just done a 50% change and a good hoovering to be on the safe side re checked all stats and they are fine . Had a good look at my other 2 rams and I think one is being attacked by the other as its fins are a bit mangled and I've seen them chasing about the tank this morning the one that died as a male which leaves me 1 male 1 female could the dead one have been attacked ?? There was no signs of injury on it
