Dead Fish

[blackers92]

One of my Yoyo Loaches just died

he was sitting on the bottom of my tank when I got home from school, so he could of been sitting there for a maximum of 5 hours.

it was the smallest of my 5 Yoyo loaches and never seemed to eat, but what really has me worried is that since saturday I literally havent seen any of them except him and the another small one.

3 of them were quite large and I can see them inside my bogwood, but they havent left it since then

could they have caught some sort of disease, if so could they possible spread it to my bristlenose or Keyhole cichlids?

my water stats are still stable,with a pH of 6.5

im so worried, they dont seem to eat but they are fat, they did eat algae wafers but havent touched any since saturday

what should i do?

please help!

My Clown loach died yesterday, it never ate never came out from hiding i just say they are un-healthy fish, dont worry about it just check the symptoms and post them.

well 3 of them seemed really healthy i would constantly see them scavaging along the substrate two of them got particularly big

one of them always hid inside the bogwood, it would never leave it unless i did a waterchange for some reason. He was quite small but had solid markings so i presumed he was healthy. but I think he is the one that died

i have noticed the biggest one sometimes twitches to get out of holes and stuff kind of like an explosive action, they click when they eat (but that is normal) some of them sleep on an angle (common)

one weird thing i have noticed is that they seem to hold there breath.. like there gills move for a while and then stop for a few seconds, its probably nothing to worry about.

they dont rub up on anything or swim to the surface for oxygen

like i said, i only ever see them eat the algae wafers.

i havent seen any bulling between any of my fish other then my keyhole when they eat.

there poo is normal

they have been inside the bogwood since saturday

i honestly cant think of anything else
