I recently reported my Jade Perch located in my aqaurium had become agressive towards each other and eventually the silver perch. However,there have been a spate of silver perch deaths. I originally put this trouble to infected wounds inflicted by the Jade Perch, I treated the silver perch by transferring them a salt bath in my hospital tank. Unfortunately the deaths continued and now believe the fish may be affected with a tumour. The wounds are well defined and clean, and are generally located around the head region including gills and nostrils.:(
The Jade and Silver perch located in the ap tank do not exhibit aggressive behaviour or signs of illness.

From my limited experience disease is usually stress related and can be traced back to environmental stressors.
