Have you got a large jug you can use for fish?
I'm going to suggest a salt (use Aquarium salt, not table) bath for 20 minutes every day until she goes back to normal.
Use about half a teaspoon salt per 5l of tank water. Top the tank back up with fresh.
Fish don't feed every day, I've left them for 3 weeks when necessary.

Thank you @plankton I will nip out and get some from the local shop. Or can try order some. I’ve got a bucket for tank water I can use. If she will be ok minus a heater for 20 mins. She looks ok fin wise. Maybe “pouting” more quickly than usual, so not sure if she has something stuck?

It’s hard losing any. But it really seems to be the way of the panda Cory just now; weak stock.

You might be right. It’s from the same original trio I got in November. He was actually my largest panda too. So I’m very upset about this one. As sad as it seems, I buried him in the garden. Just found him dead like the last one. Seemed fine earlier on, so no idea if fish can have heart attacks? I don’t hold out much hope for the last of the originals. I did get 3 more but if the same happens... I’ll just up the sterba group instead

Sorry for your loss.
Thank you @plankton another dead one this morning. Knew he wouldn’t last as he was almost lifeless last night. As if he wasn’t breathing. Then zipping to the top a lot more than normal. Maybe shock. So that’s the past of the original 3 I got. Must be something with that batch perhaps. I really don’t know.

Sorry to hear.
Thank you. I just hope it’s not a general disease in the tank. Odd that it’s the original batch all within 3 weeks with no symptoms of illness at all. Just died.
The salt should arrive today so will try the baths for the honey and hope I can help her at least
I’ll be watching the other pandas like a hawk now
