So my literal favorite fish died (I even made sure to never mention he was my favorite). I think it was a PH swing. The female survived and I was super bummed... not only because I would have to purchase another pair which are expensive.. but he really was a supermodel. He looked better than the male In the picture I attached. 

Yesterday morning I came home from work to find her herding about 30 fry! He shall live on!!!

Are you sure the female didn't kill him? It's not uncommon for a female herding fry to do this. 

If your Ph swing didn't wipe out the female and fry, my guess is it's Matricide.

Sorry for the loss. Congrats on the fry!
