Not eating

[Shuichi]

My melanoid hasn't eaten in nearly 2 weeks. Her tankmate is eating just fine and I took her out a few days ago. The other 3 axies are also eating fine. She's visibly losing weight and I don't know what to try anymore.

Is there anything else wrong with her? Any signs of stress? What are your water parameters and temperature? What are you feeding them?

She's fine otherwise. I'm doing daily water changes while she's isolated, it does get quite warm but I'm doing my best to keep it down (20) I did think that could be it, but it didn't make sense that the others are fine. Earthworms mainly, though I have tried bloodworms in the last few days.

It's been over 3 weeks now and she still hasn't eaten. I don't know if this is because she hasn't eaten but her hands look like they're backward if that makes sense. I'll post a picture soon, I'm not giving up on her.

Just wanted to say I hope your girl gets better! Definitely keep her in a dark, cool , clean tank so she is comfortable and do try to keep her water cool!! Small fans work wonders.

Thank you, but I don't think she's going to make it. I checked on her this morning and she was floating at the top of the water with little movement. A short while later she was on her side. I'll make sure she's as comfortable as possible.
