Banded Grumi got Dropsy help help!!

[DemonShark]

He has all the symtoms i just need to cure it how can i do that? ITs giving me the creeps too make my skin crawl

[William]

Depends on wether it is internal or bacterial dropsy. Internal are very hard to cure while bacterial dropsy can be cured by a long row of diffferent commercial treatments as well as by raising the temp and adding salt to the water.

[DemonShark]

its internal cause its summer here and the temp in the water was like in the 80s

[William]

If you know for sure that it is internal you can try purchasing meds or consider destroying the fish so that the dropsy doesn't spread.

He died also the betta i had died I islated all fish and cleanning out whole tank

[rollie]

as i told you on msn messager, your ph was to high. it was not dropsy.
(the ph was over 8.0) that what killed them. i see this alot. plus you did not tell them ,what you told me.

[DemonShark]

I posted this before talking to yuo Rollie and Im glad your back the betta and groumi died but I still think the grouimi did have dropsy.... He had the exact spymtoms

[William]

A pH of over 8.0 is def a problem for most fish.

Could you take a pic of it if you still think it is Dropsy?

[DemonShark]

Well I flushed him so i cant but Ill try to get a similiar picture
