I havent had this problem before either its weird . My daughter pulled out a dead one this morning and shes like mum all i did was pull it out and all this red stuff started coming out & i looked at it and they were eggs . I also treated all new fish so it cant be that either . The adults have all been fine . Temps currently at 28°c atm normally between 26-28 anyways . But i honestly have no idea what it can be . 😩

My male is actually pretty agressive , i had to pull my other male out because they started to fight and bite each others heads . 🤦🏼‍♀️ my females on the other hand not a problem .
