Hey Sand, let me suggest #3 at this point. If she's being picked on at this point she won't be able to rest and heal if she's in with the others.
I know your all probably wondering how she is doing, thanks so much for all your concern!
Today I woke to see her still alive, and there is improvement... small improvement but itleast there is some improvement... she is startin to use her fin again... still hovering around the top of the tank, Im assuming thats where everyone leaves her alone. She is not eating, but this has made me change my mind to #3. if there is more improvement tomorrow.
Betty - I dont have any spare heaters and sponge filters are still needed in the tanks there in... I do have a 46gal tank that has had water in it, heater and a canister filter with great water parameters for her... just thought it wouldve been useless because of the state she was in, now I see a light though!

Sand, you need to get yourself a small hospital tank! You just never know when you'll need it.
I probably worry too much about it, but I don't like the idea of possibly cross-contaminating a tank with a sick fish that might still be contagious. I use a 10 gallon with a few easy to clean decorations so the fish can hide and feel safe, but no substrate in my quarantine/hospital tank. When I move the fish out, I break it all down, clean it well, and leave it dry until it's needed again.
Luckily, I haven't had any sick fish in a long time, but I do get one beat up once in a while and also use it as a quarantine for any new fish.
I'm glad your female is getting better! :beer:

....
betty - I used to have a hospital tank, and the lack of sick fish that needed it, so I wanted to get use out of it so turned it into the german blue ram breeding tank... What do you know, just a month after I do it and I get a bunch of sick fish!
