As you can see, she's pale, and the white thing is what was hanging from her, but she's skiddish and it came off. Any suggestions? Please help. Thanks.

I moved her into a quarantine tank, it's filtered, but only 2.5 gallons. I took water directly from my 20 gallon as it was already cycled. I was thinking about doing a partial water change tonight.
 
Does the fish look skinny.
Is the anus enlarged or red and inflamed.
 
Nothing is red nor inflamed. She looks a bit smaller than normal, but she hasn't eaten in about 3 days, so I'm guessing that's why. She took food in her mouth this morning, but quickly spit it back out. I can't get her to eat a pea either.
 
Um, that's not her feelers are they???

I can't see her feelers in the photo of the fish...
 
No, she has both of them. The first picture was dangling from her, but when I got near the tank she darted away and it fell off.
