    Help Needed On Dead Fish

    Hi Guys,
    come home from work today to find this fish dead in the corner with the only sign of somthing wrong last nite when it started to hide in the corner late last nite. I have another that has been hiding in the corner for two days now, all these fish have full colour still and no sign of illness. What is this disease???. The pic shows black lines through the fish which i have never seen before. What to do. I havent had a real good day. All the ammonia, nitrates etc are fine and im runnning a 15w uv sterilsier

    Axl, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your fish.

    I have honestly never seen anything like that before.

    I'll hit the books and see if I can come up with some ideas.

    Could it be some kind of blood poisoning?

    Axl, I've sent you a PM with some of my thoughts.

    I'm still not finding anything conclusive.

    Sammi, I believe you may be on the right track.
