Posted	Dropsy
27-08-2005 18:23 by Andrew Hon	My poor lionhead (Bendy) has had Dropsy for about a month now and I have just got a feeling that the moment I do something wrong he's going to die. I monitor the water quality everyday. I am currently using Interpets, No.9 ANTI - INTERNAL BACTERIA. In the first week he did get better, now it has gotten worse again. I do not know what else to do. I have brought a heater and set it at 24 degree C. Please give me advice on what I can do to help save my poor little fish. The symtoms he has are sticking out scales like a pinecone and the black part of his eyes are sticking out a little bit which i presme is pop-eye. He swims well, eats well. I feed him peas, flake food and interpet freezed worms (not all at once). His condition seem to vary, it keeps changing week after week, he gets better then gets worse. Please help me

Antibiotics are in the majority of cases the best course of action. A more hands on approach is to raise the aquariums temperature slightly ( a few degrees higher then usual) and add Epsom salts to the water at a rate of 20 mg/L.
