Prolapse - prevention?

[ThunderGoose]

I lost a fish today to what I believe was prolapse. She was a blackline blenny, captive bred, I've had her for about a year and she went through QT when I first got her. No pictures tonight but she looks just like the other fish posted on here with prolapse.

Is there anything that can be done to prevent this? I've been feeding nori a few times a week (and she did like her nori!), LRS most days, occasionally mysis or fish eggs for some variety and I have plenty of pods.

Does anyone know what causes this in captive fish? I don't want to lose anymore if there's something I should be doing different.

Unfortunately, not much is known about why a rectal prolapse occurs or how to prevent it.

I've kept large lizards (bearded dragons, monitors, chameleons) and prolapse was usually caused by dehydration and poor nutrition. Don't think dehydration is an issue here though ;Hilarious;Hilarious but it sounds like op was feeding pretty good. Thanks Humblefish for your input

Thanks for the responses. I'll just chalk it up to bad luck unless I see it in other fish.
