Tehanu, my albino axie, has been in the fridge for about two months already and she's not getting any better. She was in a tank with gravel before, we put her in a new tank and she started floating. She's passed a few stones, but now she always floats on her back, her tail is really curved, she's got black stuff around her mouth, and I just watched her vomit blood.

Is there anything at all I can do for her? Thanks...
 
firstly, the water level she should be in is just enough to cover her back this will prevent her from floating,
secondly are you doing daily water changes with dechlorinated water that has been kept in the fridge with her,
have you noticed any swelling around her rear end
if she is swollen i would think she is impacted with gravel.
if she is i would suggest you try to find a vet who deals with amphibians.
if no one near you does try your closest zoo they might be able to point you in the direction of one who does.
 
Thale how how long since you added her to the new tank before she started floating? What are your water parameters and temperature of the new tank? Did she seem to come right after fridging and then you put her in the new tank or did you add her to the new tank before fridging her and since fridging her she hasn't improved? Sorry, I do remember you being on here a few months back just trying to clarify things!
