Great idea. I might just take some water over there.

Yes, I changed the water because of dead Minno. I guess it was a panic reaction.

I don't mind looking at poop, and I might try putting a towel there. I would have to remove her "furniture", though. She's got some plants and rocks in there.

I don't think her scales stick out. I have been examining her for that as I have read about Dropsy. Is that what you are thinking about? Her body is not bloated or swollen anywhere else. It's just that tiny baseball under her gills, and I think her scales don't stick out there, either.

If she were constipated, why would her belly look so clear and inflated? It looks like someone blew it up with air.

Thanks again for all your insight!
