Sure sounds like FW septicemia when I had FW fish!
Also, check your Ammonia again! Your testing fluids maybe off.

Not sure what can be done at this point. Fish that far gone cannot be helped. In the mean time, lots of water changes and carbon the heck out of the DT. Make sure you clean the equipment (nets, buckets, siphon tubes etc) so that you don't spread that around.

Sorry to hear about this.
Hate to see a tank completely gone from one fish. Good luck.

It is never fair to blame anyone, privater seller, LFS, etc.. When it all comes down to it. The buyer has full control, you can watch the fish, make sure it is eating, and especially QT it yourself.

I know personally I hear "My water is fine" a couple of times a week. Not saying yours isn't, Just always nice to have a second opinion, and mybe a third.

Thats why we have 3 test kits we use just in case of contamination.

I had a customer a few years ago but 3 fish from us, all in seperate banks, and from different suppliers. All the new fish had problems, but we were told his water was fine. After asking for a water sample for a week, we able to check the water, and his PH was at 9.4.

We don't ask for water samples to blame anyone, we ask for them to help you figure out what may be the problem, 3 fish from seperate system dying as they were added to a new home was too coincidental.

Just a thought
