i think my betta fish castiel has dropsy. i followed the instructions i found on google and set up an aquarium tank with iodine-free salt, water treatment, a bubbler, a heater, a thermometer, and i added two (fake) betta leaves for him to hide/rest. I've added bettafix medication. i fed him the...

Here we go again, I think my Betta is having the start of dropsy. He is still perky (When he wakes up in the morning he zooms around the tank flaring just for the fun of it for a solid 5 minutes or so) and has no trouble eating, but his scales are worrying me. Further more I realize he is...

About a month ago my betta, Bob, got really fat, mostly on his left side. I did some research and the most likely thing seemed like he had a swollen swim bladder from feeding him too much. Dropsy didn't seem likely since he was still very active, swimming around, trying to fight his own...
