auriga butterfly species discussion

[riveton]

I've had my auriga butterfly in the tank for about 2-3 months now. Initially, my yellow tang gave it a bit of a hard time, but they seemed to accept each other within a couple of days. The butterfly's been pretty laid back since then. I've had a couple of white spot outbreaks, which always started on the auriga, but I managed to clear them up with cuprazin.

Over the past 24-48 hours, the butterfly's become really lethargic, barely swimming and occasionally shivering. Tonight, it even scraped itself against a rock, but I couldn't find any signs of white spot when I checked. What's really got me worried is that it hasn't eaten, which is a first.

I've treated the tank with cuprazin again, but I'm getting pretty concerned about losing this beautiful fish. I don't have a quarantine tank to move it to, so any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

My tank's a 150l with a mix of fish - the auriga, yellow tang, picaso trigger, 2 chromis, a damsel, a jewel puffer, and a blenny.

What's your current water testing results look like and how's the auriga looking now, any improvement after the latest cuprazin treatment?

Water parameters are all within normal range... but the butterfly's condition has taken a turn for the worst - it's actually passed away now and I'm pretty gutted about it.

Sorry to hear that, riveton. When you said your water was ok, what were the actual test results like, was it just a general observation or have you run a full set of tests?
