How long has the tank been established? If all the other fish are fine I would have to assume your water parameters are fine. When you say that they are ok, does that mean you checked them or you are assuming because the water change?

Any signs of ich? Visually or her actions?

Tank has been cycled and up and running since 2007 water parameters have been fine the last time I checked and other fish are fine swimming around. The corie is still alive in the isolette but she was having trouble staying upright and swimming. I read in other forums something about bloating I was able to gently get her upright so she is not lying on her side right now. I wonder could she be constipated or could this be a swimbladder issue? I put a small piece of an algae tablet in the isolette to see if she would eat it. I don't see any disease on her I thought I saw a red mark but now don't see it. The other corie is a male and is swimming around no issues.
