Fish: Re: [tropical fish club] dropsy?

We'll need more information. Test your tank water for ammoina, nitrite, nitrate
and pH we need to know this information. Ask the store to use liquid test kits
and write down the numbers in PPM's (parts per million). How long is "just set
up" How fast did you add fish and when did you add them also how many? What
water treatments are you using? Are these fish swollen?

hi there

thank you from Australia from someone who has been learning a lot from you guys
:-)

I have just started my first four foot tank and have a few questions that I hope
that you can help with .I fear from what I have read and now seeing that two of
my fish have "dropsy "as they are swimmimg in spiral motions and cant stay
"upright"...one is an albino catfish the other a Pink zebra danio....Is this
dropsy and what if anything can be done...I have changed the water and ph is
fine...

The other is a happy thing...I think...I have 5 "glass catfish'they are curious
souls and finally after 5 days emerging from the log while light is on...I have
feed the fish a very small amount when the light off as well as I was worried
that the glassies would not get food as they seem very active at night in ptch
dark.Should I still continue to feed a little when dark or will they be ok and
eventually swim when light on....thanks GUYS!!
