His scales are now pineconing ****! How do I treat for dropsy

Sorry about late reply, but it seems to have kind of cleared up. His eyes are still bulging and it looks like there is water under his scales. And yes his 5 gallons is cycled and he's 2 inches, just a young dollar.

Daphnia also works like peas, and if it is a tumor there isn't much you can do but I suspect it's not. Make sure you soak your food or else it will expand in their stomachs. Especially with blood worms. I soak my food for a minute then feed.

Your tank needs to be cycled, but I suppose it is a step up from a uncycled fish bowl. I do not suspect that is fin rot though. Just watch it and if it gets worse treat it. And while doing water changes make sure you use a water de-chlorinator
