Thanks so much guys, I sure hope that's the situation. I had fecal samples sent out to the vet a few weeks ago and I STILL haven't heard back (I'm really starting to dislike this guy). They tend to say "no news is good news", so I imagine that no news means no parasites, so by default that leaves the dominant female theory as the prominant cause of her weight loss.

And I figured I'd have more trouble keeping the Meller's cham!

Thanks again,
