female lyretail anthias bloated belly then dead
6 mos ago I got 4 females. Then whitled down to just 1 over like 2 mos. I jad the last one for about four mos and eating very well. I usually feed twice a day either formula 1 or 3 or some brine flakes or Rods food. About 2 days noticed the fished belly was huge like she swallowed a marble. Today she is dead? Ideas

Lyretails typically come in infested with Gil Flukes. That wouldn't lead to a huge belly, but it would explain why you lost the others.
Maybe check in the fish disease/treatment forum here to see if you can get an answer on the bloated belly.
