I'm at a loss with this one. I picked her up about a month ago, and she was doing really well. I've been noticing that I hadn't seen her much lately. So I took out all my plants trying to find her. When I did I thought she was dead. She was kinda floating on her side and seemed to be resting on the moss. I scooped her up and had to start facing the sadness. Well when I did she moved ever so slightly, so I placed her back in the tank and she rested in my hand. She looks extremely thin, with no energy to even move it seems. I placed her in a two and a half gallon tank with 50% of her tank water and 50% treated. I threw in some extra moss for hiding. A little whisper pump and a large air stone to bring up the concentrated oxygen. I put in about 20 of my feeder snails, and she stalks them a little and when it looks like she is going to strike she swims away. So then I tried daphnia, bloodworms, and mysis shrimp. She won't take any. I'm quite concerned for her. I hate having a fish fatality. Can anyone think of anything else I should try? Thank you in advance.
