It's good to hear you have a bigger tank on the way. The best thing you can do right now is keep her water as clean as possible. Imo daily water changes would be a good idea. The issue may resolve itself with clean water and a bigger tank. When you move her to her new tank transfer most of her water and her filter. Most of the beneficial bacteria live in the filter. After her, her filter and any decorations are in her new tank keep an eye on the ammonia, nitrite and nitrate readings for a couple of weeks and do a water change if needed.
