A couple of weeks later in the display it was doing well and then in a span of about 8 hours or less it started breathing heavy and then slowly started to turn sideways and then died by evening. Never did find out what it was, as not symptoms, but it was suggested that it may have been flukes. Never tried one again.
Good luck with yours
