Constipated Queen Angel?

[gmbnj]

I am not positive but I think my Queen Angel is constipated. She has always been one of the biggest eaters in my tank. For almost a week she has stopped eating and does look bloated.
I saw another thread where someone dipped the Queen in frsh water and that helped. I dipped her Saturday and she looks a little better but still not eating and very shy.
Any ideas?

How long have you had it? Have you added any new fish recently?

I have had her for over 6 months and no new fish.
I actualy took my Niger out and put him in his own tank. He was getting a little to frisky in my 155.
I always do a weekly 25% water change and have not used any new foods.

The other thread would be mine I think.
Yeah, my Queen as far as I now was constipated. After about 3 days I finally gave her 12 minute freshwater dips which did allow her to crap. By the end of the night she was back to normal.

Hey Tyr-Sog, I think my queen may be having the same thing. When it comes time to eat, she swims all around the food but isn't eating much to any. Im trying to figure out your "12 minute freshwater dips", could you give me a better understanding of that? How many freshwater dips, how often, etc?
Thanks!
