Can anyone [ATTACH=CONFIG]611421[/ATTACH]speculate on how this fish tragically lost its life. I found him in the sc in which I clean everyday. Sorry but I don't know how to turn photos.

Can you take another photo with your hand behind it so the focus is on the fish, rather than the background? It's too blurry to see any detail.

Cant tell if thats a spot of color or a hole. Looks like a hole to me.. if so, im thinking heron?
Maybe this one better and yes, the fin is gone.
As fish decompose fast a dead fish provides little information to identify the cause to its death.
This fish died from bacterial issues. You can see scar tissue from the areas that tried to heal. It rotted out from the inside as it looks like it was a systemic infection. It did not do this over night either. It is important to look closely at your fish each week to make sure that nothing is going wrong.
