Beetles
Symptoms:

Fish die without any obvious signs apart from small puncture wounds.

Freshwater beetles. The adults and larvae of some freshwater beetles can kill fish as large as themselves by sucking the juices from the victim’s body.

Treatment:

There is no direct remedy other than emptying and disinfecting your aquarium in order to eradicate any beetles.
