Sad day.. I wonder what happened...

My two anery striped babies died last night. I posted several times about them not eating, and eventaully had to force feed them. I didn't do it last week; I was going to buy them live pinkies this week. I was surprised because one of them shed about three days ago, which I took as a good sign. I am just curious about the fact that they died within hours of each other, they had appropraite heat and hides.

When i examined them, they both had green patches in their bellies, which I figured was just bacterial growth after their deaths. But, is it possible that this was a parasite from when I bought them?

I'm not too concerned, I know that sometimes baby corns just don't make it, and these guys have been tricky as long as I've had them. I just want to run it by some other people.

The green spot is either the liver or galbladder(sp?) it deteriorates faster than the other organs leaving behind that green color. Sorry about your loss. Could have been a virus/parasite or it could just have been coincidence.
