If you bought that wee fish from the pet shop and they were minnows or aka Rosie reds it could be parasites that killed the garters back then. That could explain the swelling of his body.Their bodies became one big parasitic abcess! That is IMO. Coupled with the parasites in the earthworms they really were at risk.
