When they don't stay afloat, this is a sign of a swim bladder problem. This
controls their position in the water. It is possible she's constipated. Try feeding
her baby food peas on a toothpick. They sink, so that might make it easy to get
the food to her. Give that a try. Let me know if you have any ??s
