One of my girls got dropsy a about 4 days ago and she is seriously bloated like huge I have never seen a fish swell like this. and I haven't seen a fish last this long looking like that. Right now her water is getting changed everyday and she is getting 3tsp /gallon of epsom salt she is also heated right now? What else can I do I mean she s acting like a fighter....

I never seen a *true* case of dropsy that the fish survives from. I'm sorry.

Its okay neither have I so I'm wondering what else could it be?

I had 1 with dropsy that survived. Everyone told me to treat her for parasites, but it took 2 weeks to get parasite medication, so I used what I had. Jungle Fungus Clear (at 3x the recomended dose) and epsom salt with 100% daily water changes with more meds. After about a week, the bloating started going down, and then her color started coming back.

This is what she looked like when I started treating her

Antibiotics help, preferably doc prescribed but I have honestly never seen anything smaller then a 5 inch fantail goldie get baytril injections. Antibiotic pellets to treat the infection inside, but she is really really bloated, and that's usually a sign that the kidneys are really far gone. I'm sorry.

Oh I know I have never seen a fish look like this and still swim around like normal, she isnt hiding or gasping she is just... there... I have no clue what is wrong and just want to make her comfterable if she is going to pass...

She looks pretty bad. Do you have any idea why she might have dropsy? Dropsy itself is a symptom, not a disease. Has she passed any parasites?

For now, epsom salt, 2 tsp per gallon, and a lower water level so she can breathe. Toward the end, you may need to lift her up so she can reach the surface. I'm really sorry, Creat.
