Found my first dead fish...
Came home today to find him in the corner... He looked bruised, but I never saw him bullied. He was only in the tank for 3 weeks, and he seemed fine. ( was eating and hanging out) anyone know if that's bruising or disease?

Really hard to say. Has the fishes coloration looked good lately? Has it been eating/acting normally? Fins nipped? I don't think you can say its diseased/bullied based on the little information we know.

He was eating regularly, he would be the last to "get up" in the mornings. Fins where fine, just looked really bruised on the one side(you can see it in the picture). The coloration looked normal even when he was dead....

Dont know but i'm wondering if the bruising could have been the result of some kind of hemorraging internally. I thought I read some diseases can cause internal bleeding, but again I dont know.
