Youur aquarium info says you dont know about the nitrogen cycle, please take a moment and read this article, it is very important for the lives of the fish:

My mom said that maybe the filter is not working.We clean peach tank know she is ok but still not eat.Where go to get a better filter.
Thank you for your help.

I'm really happy to hear you got bigger tanks, good for you!

What's your water change routine?
After a week enough ammonia can build up to effect you fish.

If you could answer Alessa's questions, it'd be very helpful so that we could help you.
Also, what temperature is the tank?

What are you feeding her? You can try soaking the pellets in abit of garlic juice, that should help stimulate her appetite and help her immune system.

Is the filter completely broken? What kind is it? A filter will not get rid of ammonia, water changes and beneficial bacteria will.

Your welcome! Did I say how happy I am that they have bigger tanks. lol, I did, but I wanted to say it again.

What is fish lap?

Make sure you read the link that Alessa gave you on the nitrogen cycle.
Test the water, as soon as it tests positive for ammonia, start with water changes to try and avoid ammonia poisoning.

What book did your mom give you to read?
