I apologize my camera refused to focus more than a second and I couldn't get her in the shot the first few seconds :P

I'll await pics for more info..

You definitely need to replace the thermometer asap.

You need to be doing a minimum of 25% weekly changes with siphon.. if you have not been then I would do a series of 2-3 50% changes with siphon over the next few days.

Your food is also not so good. I would look for a good quality pellet whose first two or three ingredients are whole fish, not fish meal or wheat.

If that's the case, why not post something in the Classifieds section? Maybe someone nearby would like to adopt them.
