Dropsy

[Mariah]

Just like the topic says - Is dropsy contagious?
Thanks

Yes, but hardly at all though- you'd be very unlucky if you had 2 fish or more affected at the same time.

Just cause my guppy has a swollen belly and I was told that might be dropsy. I dont want my other fish to catch it though...

Most commonly dropsy is an infection, though many causes have been reported. A big thing would be to isolate the infected fish so that if it should pass away, no fish eats the corpse -- one of the easiest way for diseases to spread.

Ok, thank you

Your Guppy could be pregnant!!!
