Oh My Gosh, Its Dropsy Isnt It?

[MewMew42]

this morning i noticed my pink VT to be bloated and discoloured in the body

he's really really swollen, and it looks like his scales are sticking out!!

whats caused this? can i make him better, hes still swimming around, he just looks so swollen!!

heres an above pic

will a meth blue dip help? ive quarantined him now, and added salt

It is dropsy, I'm sorry I have just lost a betta to this, don't know about meth blue but you can try, I haven't managed to treat a betta successfully though no matter how hard I try, but let me know how you get on, hope he pulls through for you.

You'll need a good gram negative antibiotic, such as gentamycin. Epsom salt in the water also helps, 50% survival rate with this. Meth blue won't cure it.

I doubt he will

Its all so sudden, he was fine yesterday
