Sorry for your loss.
I had a similar sized female Ornate pass away recently.
That too was for an unknown reason.

After a few years away from this forum, i'm back

Still have my group and they are still breeding, my group is now 3 males and 7 females (and 1 endli). In an other tank i have newly hatched frys and about 10 frys that eat artemia and other small live water animals.
