 Question

What type of fish?
Could easily have been vitamin b deficiency.

 Question

If you are feeding fish then you also want to be giving them a vitamin B1 supplement. Fish cause a deficiency in this vitamin for snakes and over time it can give them health problems or kill them. It may not have been what killed your baby but you should dust a minnow or two with the vitamin and feed each baby at one feeding every other week. I’ve heard quite a few people who have had groups of babies and had some die on them. It could have been just that baby was born with something wrong. If more babies start to die though than it more than likely is something wrong with their care. Good luck.
