I got a Burgess butterfly this week. It was supposed to be overnighted but got delayed and spent the night sitting in a terminal. When I finally got it the water was very cold and the fish was doing a tumbling motion in the bag. I floated it and the fish looked better and then acclimated it and the fish looked better. It look good the first 2 days I had it. Then Saturday it quit eating and Sunday it started laying on its side and doing the tumbling motion again. It died Sunday night. Anyone have a clue to the cause. Parameters are 0/0/0, Ph 8.0 and SG is 1.025. I have 2 other butterflys in the tank that are looking great, so I don't think it was the tank and I never saw another fish even look at the burgess.
