I lost a few fish with those symptoms due to some fraying silk plants. The fish would eat the algae from them and swallow a 1 thread that they could not pass. Never buying a silk plant again.

if you can get her to eat anything. Peas are a natural diuretic that might help.

i dont have live plants in the tank with her so thats not it i tried peas last night and sinking and floating pelts of each size and brand i separated her and stayed up til 8am watching her to see if she might make it... sadly she didnt i hate losing fish. went too sleep for an hour woke up and she was gone. so sad i wish i could have done more.
