She could be ill, but it could also just be a swim bladder issue. Try feeding some boiled, shelled peas and hold off on feeding for a day or two.

Peas are a laxative for fish, and will help with the swim bladder. Make sure you only feed them the insides though, not the shell.

You can still try the peas. I feed all of my fish peas once a week, they LOVE them.
