2 Bala Shark dead

by Rixx1741

I came home today to find my 2 bala shark (tricolor) dead, both seemed fine as of lately. During the last week and a half they took on a red color in their fins, I don`tknow if that has anything to do with it, also I added a pice of mopani wood yesterday, which I previously treated, but I don`t think that might be the cause since i already had it in the tank a while back. I have all natural plants and my fich are:

2 Loaches
2 Angel Fish
1 Pleco
6 Danios
6 Neon Tetras
3 Honey Gouramis
Anyway Thanx in advance if you can help me solve the mystery

I just had a Bala shark die of the same thing. Red coloring of the fins that spread. My other bala shark was fine, but this one looked bad, so I put him in a separate 1 gallon tank and he died anyway. Any insight would be appreciated.

Where there any other symptoms? Sluggishness? Gasping at surface? Other spots or discoloration on scales, fins, or gills? How are the other fish doing? Have you tested the water for ammonia, nitrate and nitrite? How big is the tank and how long has it been up and running? How big were the bala sharks and how long had you had them?
