I agree with that. My goal is to let her be back in her sorority tank, but I understand that that may not happen (especially since she may be gone for a while). I’ve been told that when you shine a flashlight on them you can sometimes see the eggs - I see nothing. I still suspect dropsy or...

It’s alright, I’m trying fasting her - I normally only feed all of them once every other day but I’m gonna go a longer now and see if she looks any better. She seems the same (active and chunky) today, and it’ll be her 2nd day without food. I’ve heard up to a week is okay?
