I have no water parameters. I guess I should go get a test kit. I changed about 50% of the water last Monday (a week ago) right after we found Minno dead. (They shared a 5.5 Gallon tank.)

I usually change 20-30% of the water every two weeks. The tank is 5.5 gallons with a heater and an in-tank filter.

Her behavior hasn't changes at all. She still wants food badly. We do not have a male, so I don't think she can be pregnant.

When Minno died, we did not observe a big belly on her. She looked the same as always. GWS has a huge belly compared to what she usually looks like. They both were slender fishes.

Thanks so much for all your information. I hope she can recover from this. I haven't seen her have a bowel movement, but I am not around all day, and our rocks are dark-blue. So bowels are hard to find in there.

Carolina and GWS
