• Zebrasoma has died, what could be the reason?

  • Stephen5841

Hello, sea men! In the morning, I found a dead zebra soma, brown. In the evening, everything was fine; she was playing with the fox as always. But in the morning, she was lying under a rock and barely breathing, and after about 20 minutes, she stopped breathing. Perhaps she got stuck there and couldn't get out, or she died from stress; I don't know. What could be the reasons, so I can know for the future? Thank you in advance for your answers!

1982, you tell me how long she lived with you, what fish you have in the aquarium, how she ate, what the volume is, whether she was sick or not. It's unlikely that she got stuck somewhere. They climb in and out just fine.

I personally had her for a month, I took an adult zebra cichlid, I don't know how old she is. She ate artemia and dry food excellently. There were no signs of illness. In the aquarium, there are also two clownfish, cardinal tetras, a pair of mandarins, a boxer shrimp, and a foxface fish; by the way, they were inseparable friends with her. The volume is 500 liters.

It will be difficult to determine the cause without an autopsy.

It's a pity, she was the favorite of the whole family. In any case, thank you.

Did she live with someone before or is she imported? If she is imported and has only lived here for a month, she might be poisoned...

No, it lived. It was already quite large, about 15 centimeters, but I don't know how big they grow and how long it has already lived.
