Dead Bursa Trigger

[Johnny Reefer]

Well autoposy/necropsy (if I can call it that) done. Nothing was found in the stomach. Makes sense to me as the last meal was about 14 hours prior to my finding it. Everything looks to me as it should except for maybe the swim bladder. Interested in others opinions. Look a tad distended? Keep in mind that I froze this guy and then thawed it to do the autopsy, so I'm not sure how much this warm - cold - warm would affect the gas inside. Long story short, it's still a mystery to me. I should do the autopsy right away next time. Next time? Hoping not. Another person today suggested delayed cyanide poisoning. I had this fish 11 months. No sign of distress. Opinions?




Thanx much and cheers,
