I bought some Kanacyn and have started medicating today. In this pic I can kind of see the scales raising a litle. I have lots of pics. Please give info on what you guys think this is.

55--that's not nesicarliy (spelling) true. My betta has been batteling dropsy now for about a week and he is still going strong. Eating, swimming, breathing. I still have hope that he will recover. Not all is lost.

Me and my betta will say a little prayer for him Auratus. Good Luck.
