My apisto bloated up over the weekend and passed away last night.

Anyone seen this before and would it have been treatable ?

Female is fine, anything I should check before I look to replace?

For bloated fish, blanched pea ( de-shelled and crushed ) and garlic can work wonders

Sorry for your loss. :(
That looks like it could have been a tumour, but a weekend is pretty quick for it to have grown like that, there must have been something going on beforehand if it was one.
I agree about the pea and (crushed) garlic for digestive problems though.
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!
