Tanks overstocked for a five gallon.
What is the temp of the tank.
Is she bloated not good if she's on the bottom of the tank.
Shaking low temp, to parasites, bad water quality.

No don't add the parasite med.
So do you have a heater in the tank.
Is she swimming in place.
Look under shimmies.

yes theres a heater, shes sorta swiming in place but shes darting around evry once and a while to a new place

 

[WILDER]

Darting about poor water quality, stray voltage, parasites, to overdose of meds.
Has her colour faded.
Is she laboured breathing.
Any signs of flicking and rubbing.
For now a water change, I would just add a teaspoon of household salt to the tank.
Stir the salt in the tank water in a jug till it disolves then add to the tank.
Don't add more than the teaspoonful with the strimp.
Take a sample of your water to the lfs and tell them to write the readings down for you.
