Sorry for your loss. My guess would be that he saw something (perhaps a
shadow crossing over the tank, or a bug on the cover) and made a run at
it. Impact against the glass cover caused too much damage (cerebral or
along the spinal cord where it connects to the brain cavity). Water
conditions seem fine & diseases usually act in a more progressive way.
