So we have had our Cooper banded butterfly for almost 3 weeks. When we first put her in the tank she was doing very well. Eating and swimming around. Yet today I noticed that she seems to be breathing heavy. I have noticed in the year since we started that when fish start to do this they end up dead the next morning. :( I feel like we have done most things possible. The nitrates in the tank seem to be fine.(10 ppm) Plus we have put a variety of food in the tank to get her to eat. I guess the one good thing is that our aiptasia has pretty much been eaten up. Anyone have any ideas how to save her?
 
Maybe find her some aiptasia, and then soak in garlic and vitamins to lift her spirits.
