    Unfortunately it looks like it could be dropsy to me, especially with the eyes looking bugged out. Do the scales stick out some? It's a bit hard to tell. Dropsy is usually fatal, even if caught early. Poor little fishy

    I doubt it's eggs, she has never been an eggy girl (thank God - eggy females are ugly lol).

    I can't stand looking at her, it makes me so sad.

    I've never heard of Dropsy, Jess, what is it?

    I am going to fast her for a few days, and then try feeding her a bit of a pea. Say a prayer for my little Erin please!

    I looked up info on dropsy, and it does sound like she could have it... except her scales are not raised... hmm...

    Poor girl. Everyone has already suggested what came to my mind, but I am still sending some good vibes out for her. Hopefully it passes, whatever it ends up being.

    Well, she's doing lots better... but can't fully dive. Swelling has gone down a lot.

    I have no idea what kind of diet I should do for her. I only feed her one pellet every 2-3 days, and even that seems to affect her... any suggestions?

    Poor little Erin . Have you tried her on a flake food? it might be a bit softer for her to digest.
