Sadly, dropsy will many times, take the life of the fish despite your efforts. So dont feel you never treated right or anything if the worse should happen. Its a pretty nasty disease. I agree with above. Go to the LFS and as for the most potent stuff they got. Make sure the person behind...

Hey you mentioned that you stirred up gravel and did a water exchange. I would also reccomend that you buy a gravel vac that actually sucks on the gravel in your tank and cleans it all out. ( providing your not using sand) that should get rid of a lot of the waste. If it is a larger tank...

hmm. Im no expert but from what I have read algee if anything would cause the water to go slightly acidic. Do you have any shells or the like in the tank? Anything with calcium in it will cause the ph raise. Dunno what else to tell ya other than that. Ill leave it to the experts. :D So...

What I was thinking about doing was have a planted tank so that would take care of some of the waste product. With that and a waterchange every 5 days I was thinking it would be fine supposing that my water is at the right ph and I dont have to go buy botled or a R/O system. Plus its only one...

HE is a really small algee eater. I got him to keep my 2 gallon in check. HE is green with a black stripe and white belly if that helps. and I know he is not the chinese type (dunno what they are called either. I would say he is between 1 and 2 inches. Will the fry live on flake food ground...
