6 hours ago, just before I went to bed, all the females were just fine. I fed them some tropical betta flakes and some hikari micro wafers. All of the girls ate some.
Now, I've come in turned the lights on and Miss Dizzy appeared to be dead, floating at the surface.
Other girls were just swimming past her/under her as if she wasn't there.
I got a container for her and scooped her out - she ISN'T dead... yet.
All her colour is gone, she's breathing really slowly.
The water in the container is shallow so she can get air if she wants.
She can stay the right way up, but she isn't moving her pectorals much most of the time.
She is not pineconing, not bloated, no lesions, cuts, sores, no fuzz or fungus.
Haven't seen her poo yet this morning.

12Gal double hex tank. Planted with amazon swords, vallis, java moss on bogwood.
Ammonia-0; NitrIte-0; NitrAte-10.
They have Aqualibrium in the water at the dose of 1tsp to 3Gal - I know that's less than the suggested dose, but I started low as I haven't used it before.
 
Update 9.30am
She is now pineconing very slightly.
Every so often she has a spurt of activity then goes back to barely moving, slowly breathing.
