One of my oldest Gold Severums died today. Don't know what happened but he was fine yesterday. He started getting crimped fins white spots on his eyes and fins just laying on bottom. I and his tank mates will miss him he was approx 3 1/2 years old. My daughter is very upset...we will find a new Gold Severum soon. R.I.P Little Buddy

if you can fill in more information about your tank, we might have some suggestions....like products used, readings for ammonia/nitrites/nitrates,..conditioners used...tank mates and tank size....etc... otherwise im sure it can be anyones guess....again im so very sorry ...he was a magnificent looking fish

75 gal tank water changes weekly tank mates are 2 green Severum and 2 gold Severum well now one gold and a pleco. Nitrates are zero Ammonia zero pH 6.8. Tank has been up and running for more than a year. Just maybe it was his time Other Severums are fine no loss of appetite or sluggishness so far all is well. Will keep a close eye on them tonight.
