Hi I recently got a fancy goldfish and I have her in a 50 gallon tank with a filter and air stones. I got her 3 weeks ago, from when I first got her in the mail she was unbalanced and went up to surface a lot. I thought it was swimmers blatter but now I am thinking that it is dropsy because her...

My betta has had a swollen belly for the past couple of days. He's still swimming around, wanting to eat, and overall acting pretty normal. I'm worried because after researching I discovered something as horrible as dropsy exists. I've looked at the all the symptoms and looked at Bruce. There...

hello, basically I got a Betta fish last week and he has a 5 gallon tank with a heater and filter but he seems to contracted a disease. He has a big stomach and floats on his side but he occasionally swims down and just floats back up now I'm unsure if this is dropsy or swim bladder disease . I...

I've been working on treating my sister's betta who came down with dropsy 3 or 4 days ago. He was kept in a 36gal bow front lightly planted tank with a male BN pleco and a ton of snails. The tank has been cycled for a few years now but the betta has only been in it for roughly 4 months. My...

(2/28/17) So Elizabeth has been dead for a while now. His fins were clamped really bad and his fins were all ripped up (I got too lenient with him being out in the tank, I was so hopeful he was just fine). He was such a beautiful boy when I first got him, I wish I had known how to take better...

Hey guys, So I have three pregnant guppies, and one of them is a very pale, irridescent yellow, and so her gravid spot isn't really grey or black, it's more like a translucent peachy colour. She was slowly getting bigger and bigger until one morning I wake up, and she's huge! So now the scales...

I have a small tank that had 3 white cloud minnows. About a week after an algae outbreak I lost one of the little guys, and the other two seemed a bit offish for about 2 weeks, when one of them got dropsy. I moved it to a quarantine tank, where it has been for 1 week. I have been treated it with...

Thanks to help in a previous topic I found that my betta, Trellimar, is suffering from the early signs of dropsy. I moved him straight into a hospital tank (3Gallon) to try and improve his condition and hopefully, save him. I thought id post a topic on his situation for advice, and as a daily...

Could this be a possible start of Dropsy? I've never had any sort of problems with him and I'm concerned about my delta.

My German Blue Ram has had a cloudy eye and protruding white mass for some time now (see pictures). Two weeks ago I posted asking for help on the issue and decided to treat with herbal tonics (pimafix and melafix by API). After the recommended dosing I saw no change so I purchased some...

Hi all, wanted some advice/help. Yesterday I picked up two females I had bought two weeks prior to put in my son's new cycled empty tank. The seller says that one of them has become "egg bound" due to "stress" of being keep an extra day in partitioned tank next to male. When I took them home...

Recently 3 of my 6 fish have died due to what appears to be a internal parasite causing dropsy. I currently have nothing to treat the tank however im curious if ishould treat it or is it to late as it seems to be spreading. Also would transferring gravel, driftwood and filter media to a new...

So i noticed 1 of my 3 new zebra danios had his scales sticking out and icame to the conclusion that he had dropsy but he died 5 minutes after i found out...three hours later my black phantom died with no obvious signs of dropsy however his balance was off and he was swimming without control...

Dear all,   I urgently need to get hold of this product, Seachem Kanaplex, for a prized Betta Splendens who is not looking too good, and maybe beginning to pine cone.   All the LFS in my area (HU17) are stating they cannot get it until next Wednesday, I have even tried my local vet.   Has anyone...

My betta Koral has been severely bloated for about a week and a half. She is still eating and very energetic and does not act sick, but something must be wrong! this cannot be normal. everyone is saying its dropsy and that theres nothing I can do to keep her from dying. but ive read online that...

Help!   My 9 year old weather loach is incredibly swollen and ill looking. He has slowly been getting more swollen for about two weeks now (I call him a he but have no evidence to base this on!) which I originally put down to my partner enjoying hand feeding them a little too much which...

Please help! I have a beautiful 8" long pangasius who I've had for three years. She is my pride and joy and the first thing people notice when they walk in to my house.   Lately she has been getting a little bit podgy looking (I just thought it was the fact that my boyfriend likes to hand feed...

Do you think I can save this girl? Any advice welcome. This is what she would typically look like:   So as you can she she is normally a little round, but she has got larger over the past 24 hours:   What you can see is she is larger on one side and it looks like there is some reddening on...

I have been trying to treat my Betta for a large swollen side and very little pooping (though he is still active and eats like a horse). The spot is very large focused to one side as well as transparent (with only a tint of yellow). This issue has been going on since a bit before New Years and...
