happened 2 notice 1 of my my red eye tetras was looking well fat and scales were lifting up. i was,nt sure what was wrong , but i was sure it was more than just a greedy fish.2 days later it was dead and it looked as if its abdomen had exploded. On further examination i noticed a guppy and atiger barb were missing (dead). this prompted a visit 2 my local fish shop were i was told my fish had DROPSY. 
it was recomended that i done 50% water change / start treatment with anti internal bacteria and remove any fish showing signs of the infection 
With great reluctance i had 2 flush my big tigar barb and my red beta (gutted 
) 1 week has passed now and 1 treatment 2go. Touch wood,fingers crossed an all that but so far the rest are doing well . DROPSY NASTY !!!

Dropsy is indeed a terrible disease.
