Well I'm not saying the water parameters are perfect or good. One of the things I'm trying to ask is why would one fish die because of bad water parameter but the rest do not? The fish had no signs of illness. There wasn't also any aggressive fish towards him.

Yes, something could die off with a temp drop. But the lingering question is why it only affected one fish? I will test later for the sake of sanity.

I guess my expectation is if the water is that really bad, I would see more dead fish.
