I'm sorry for your loss, dcraveiro 
I'm only a beginner, have no idea what was wrong with the little guy, but the same thing happened to my albino kribensis a while back. My lfs told me it might be gill flukes but treating didn't help. I think now it could have been some kind of bacterial infection, because I lost a few after her, all to different symptoms, a few of which seemed to fit with internal bacteria. I really don't know what else to tell u but I'm sorry, & keep an eye on ur other guys for early signs of anything. Sorry I'm not much help.
