Default Dropsy...

My fishes filter failed, the tank went all milky and Fishface (his adopted name aka Dave Rogers) went all floaty and 'can't be bothered' He was clearly stressed, so I changed about 50% of his water. He went right to the bottom of the tank, and I bullied him back up and swimming with the net - he's a sulky bugger at the best of times. It did work, but subsequently I've had to change his water another couple of times in a few days. He's a happy fish now and eating again - dives up to the top of the tank when I take the lid off so he must be hungry, but he appears to have signs of Dropsy. He's not showing excessive bloating that I can tell, but it's hard to see with a Moor, they're all Mr Blobby to start with. His scales are prominent though, which I believe is an early sign of Dropsy.

Advice please?

Daz
