  1. Default Question about dropsy

    Following a die-off of my biological filter (long story), one of my female guppies suffered nitrite burn to her gills in the chaos. Though she recovered from that through salting the tank a bit and keeping her in a netbox separate from the other guppies while she recovered, it apparently stressed her enough that she contracted a form of bacterial dropsy. I've since treated with Maracyn and she's swollen down a LOT in the meantime, and she's overall acting more like her old self though still a little wobbly. Her scales are still pinecone'd out a bit, and it appears that she's lost a couple scales in the process.

    Is the scale-loss normal? There's one missing and one still partially attached with no signs of injury or other missing/detaching scales. In the meantime I'm still medicating for another day or two until either her scales are less protruding again or she doesn't appear to improve further.

  2. Default

    Fake edit: I meant Maracyn 2.
