Well I have nmy d0poubts that it would be post partum depression or
any other kind of depression. Odds are its got to do with water
parameters or the fish has a bacterial or parasitic infestation. Do
some water changes and post what your parameters are.

whouldnt a bacterial or parasitic infestion be affecting all the other fish
in the tank or whould it have killed my fishy by now. just so u know the only
reson i say deprestion is because one of my hamsters had it and it stated
because the other hamster had died (the only one she ever knew), a coulple
days pasted then had a baby(i didnt know she was pregnet!). she tried to
attack the baby and tried to kill it. she sat in a corner pulling out her
hair and biting her self. we took it to the vet and she said that she never
saw any thing like it so she said it whould be best to put her down. the baby,
i rather not talk about what my dad sold it for. i felt like crap. but i got
over it because it happened so long ago. any ways thats to only reson, ever
thing else leads me to infectionbut why would she be sick for so long? if it
is an infection how do i get rid of it.
