Fish Herder
hi
sadly we just lost one of our green tiger barbs yeterday to dropsy
. i madly trawled the net looking for help & info whilst he was sick & i know it can be caused by bacteria or sometimes a virus but i also saw mentioned a few times that it can be caused by overfeeding. i dont understand how if all tank parameters are all ok how does eating too much cause kidney failure??? is it too much protein that puts a strain on their little kidneys
(like in humans)
this is prob a dumb question but im just curious & maybe worried that it was me that killed the fish with kindness.......i do try try try not to overfeed but im sure at one time or another ive been guilty of it.
