Matt, is this a month-old aquarium, or did you add fish to an
established aquarium a month ago? If this is a new tank, your other
fish are at risk of health problems while the tank cycles. Either way,
you should test for pH, ammonia, and nitrite at a minimum when a fish
dies - even if you suspect aggression.

Thanks, that's the first thing i did. Everything is OK. pH is at 8.2,
nitrites were at nothing and nitrates were in the low/safe area. I
purchased some more fish to even out the tank. I found a problem fish that
i didnt' notice before. He chances every fish around, but does not seem to
pick on one fish in particular. The pet store agreed to let me swap this
demasoni for another one. I will probably take them up on their offer. I'm
sure this is what happened to my first yellow lab. Somehow i missed him
doing it earlier.

thanks,
-matt
