Christy, I think rigormortis happens after death

I agree with Christy, its quite likely there was a lactic acid buildup or a heart attack, fish can get stressed quite easily and are not used to racing around like mad in a box like that.. also, the tank water may not have been 100% when you were doing so? Lots of suspended particles may inhibit breathing.
