hand feeding sick Amphiprion chrysoptereus pics

Amphiprion chrysoptereus (Blue Stripe Anemonefish). What a nice size female this one is. I had a pair and one day she decided to attack the male and kill it. I move the fish to 300 gal rubbermaid tub in the basement. Not sure what caused this fish to act funny and lay on its side. It stopped eating and it could not swim far. Now I see the weight loss that she has. She won't eat any food given to her so I decided to hold her (no pressure at all but only close hand so she doen no swim away. I take food, put it in my other hand and she eats.
