When I woke up this morning I found that my favorite little Oranda was dead. He was living in a 20 gallon with another small oranda. I had just done a water change yesterday and the other Oranda is still alive so I don't think it was ammonia or nitrite poisoning. I don't have a picture for you but I can describe some unusual findings when I examined him. He did not eaten yesterday so I was worried about him. He would eat and then spit out the food. He was hanging aroung the top frequently despite highly oxigenated water. The examination revealed bleeding in one eye, no sign of external parasites, and normal gills. He was not physically that different except for sunken bleeding eyes and clamped fins. The last thing was that he was the aggressive one so I don't think it was an attack on part of my other oranda.
PLEASE help me diagnose his condition. It would be greatly appreciated!
