Hi, I have had a betta, Oscar, for about a year now and the last time I changed his water, he started to look like this
http/pets.webshots.com/album/561840044kKOCAM
I always keep the tank clean, changing the water about once a week and I have a filter running in it. This started about three weeks ago and he doesnt look as bad as in the pictures but he keeps getting bigger. I have had him on an antibiotic, maracyn-two, for about two weeks but it is not helping at all. He still basically acts the same, eats normally, etc., I just cant get the swelling to go down. Is this dropsy or some other disease.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. This is my first fish and I hate seeing him like this, if I am doing anything wrong, please let me know.
