yes, the water was tested and it is fine. some have said that it is just old. i didn't feed for one day and gave a pea. it doesn't float up, it swims fine, then goes to a corner, leaning sideways. it still looks for food though.

I am not really sure what the issue is. It doesn't sound like swim bladder issues, that is usually accompanied by a lop-sided bloated look.
Your fish is old, so that might be part of it.
For now, the best advice I have to make sure the water stays clean and just keep an eye on her.
Maybe somebody else will have some other advice though.
