All the other bnose in the tank are active as ever Just her.

| without any major indication of what is going on I would suggest just the Pima and Mela combo...Sounds like she is ill in a non-treatable way | |

| you could try moving her to a tank and raising temperature to 32 for 5 days like described in one of kfenks posts worked for me on a female pepp that was on deaths door and not eating.

| if it was worms then the whole tank would be infected
