Posted by Scott on May 19, 2005, 7:37 am Please log in for more thread options This morning I noticed that one of my Siamese fighting fish was very swollen. this also happened to a female gourami month ago, a few days before she died. I have checked the water parameters and there OK. thanks Scott Posted by on May 19, 2005, 11:26 am Please log in for more thread options Scott wrote: > This morning I noticed that one of my Siamese fighting fish was very > swollen. this also happened to a female gourami month ago, a few days before > she died. I have checked the water parameters and there OK. > > thanks > Scott Unfortunately, I sounds as though both of these fish have been affected by 'Dropsy' - an internal bacterial infection which causes the abdomen to swell, sometimes with such severity that the scales will protrude. You may be able to redeem the situation with something like Interpet Anti Internal Bacteria, but you would need to be quick and have a certain amount of luck. Its probably worth a try, if only to treat any other fish who may have caught the infection. Hope this helps, Chris Similar Threads Posted Female beta is actually a male??
