Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? It's be like this about a week.

Anyone?

internal parasites, you can treat with prazipro or medicated foods

Is it contagious to other fish?

 

[aquandrew]

it all depends on the specific type of parasite, and the other fishes immune systems. yes it can likely infect other fish

Could this also be why she floats at the top of the tank all day? I just ordered some hikiri prazipro

She passed away this morning ... I guess the medicine didnt arrive in time. I'm raising her offspring now as fry. I hope they grow out to be as beautiful as she was.
