Fisheye, First find a magnifying glass. Then taking a soft net, hold her up to the glass with her tender side towards you, take a very close look at those "slivers" make sure what they are.... a scare... parasites? while your there, take a very good look at her gills, are they swollen? can she close them fully? is there anything unusually colored in them? Are her eyes clear & bright? or cloudy? On the healthy scales, do they lay flat? or do they lift up a little? Look at her fins.... any tiny red lines running through them? does she keep them clamped next to her body?

I know it sounds like a lot, but she probably has more then one thing wrong. A secondary infection caused by the first. So write down anything at all and let us know.
Sue
