Here are a couple good articles that are related...

In addition to the things mentioned in those articles I've seen clear/white stringy feces claimed to be a symptom of cyanide (though there are certainly other causes of this), and over time it will cause sores and ulcers and the colors will fade rather than that "aura" descibed in the articles. Lastly, odor of bitter almond on the breath of the fish is a dead giveaway
