Necropsy for dead fish

[Cirrus]

I have lost two Asian arowana in the past few months under strange circumstances. In both cases the fish seemed healthy and were fed on a diet of frozen white shrimp purchased from Costco. I contacted Lee Newman, curator of the Vancouver Aquarium, and asked him where I could get a fish necropsy done, as well as an analysis of the Costco shrimp. He told me to check out a government agency I had never heard of before:

I'll post more details about what I learn in the days to come in this thread.

Considering I have not lost an Asian arowana for many years, for me to have lost two in the space of a couple months when all water parameters were fine strikes me as too weird. I even had BD stingrays in one of the tanks with one of the aros and they are just fine. I would think if it was a water issue to blame that the rays would have been the first to get hurt.

Wow. Sorry for your loss. I'm interested in your findings. Pretty sure I've bought costco white shrimp for myself and family.

I still have to submit the dead fish I have for analysis, and the suspect shrimp from Costco. Meanwhile, I read this: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/feat...nted-seafood-from-china-ends-up-on-your-table
