[RoxyDog]

I have an approx. 1 year old female estherae with a bloated tummy, and she hasn't eaten in over a week.  she looks completely okay otherwise.  I finally got her out of the main tank where she cowered up in a top corner and into a 10gal by herself.  she is right now swimming erratically, like in spirals.  bloat? constipation, egg bound?  and is she doomed?     correction, she IS doomed, she just kicked the bucket.

Sorry to hear about your loss Roxydog, that is hard to lose little buddies like that, in retrospect however, it sounds a lot like worms.
