Silver Dollar Turning Light/ White Silver

[LBDave]

I have a silver dollar that is about 15-20 years old. Recently she has grown a pale whiteish silver. She is breathing a bit more rapid also. Seems she might be a bit swollen. She is a fat silver dollar. She is eating fairly normally and swimming about but she is not as energetic. Otherwise she is normal.
I'm wondering if she has heart problems.
As anyone else seen this in an old silver dollar?

15-20 years

That's awesome. Possibly near that time.

Yeah. She is doing ok. Could be her last days or weeks? Gave her some worm sticks today. Just 2 (her favorite). Still swimming about.

Her 2 "husbands" passed away last year. The bred for years. She got a bout of nose fungus about 9 months ago. Nursed her through that and she was just the happiest fish. Got 3 silver dollars to keep her company.
She has always been a happy looking fish. Comes up to greet you every time. Eats flake out of your hand.
