Oscar with dropsy

How long will it take before they go? Are they suffering - oscar looks
normal behaviour-wise to me.

PS to NetMax: it's a juvenile, about 4 inches.

: || Not to quibble with my esteemed and learned colleagues ;~), but
: || Dropsy symptoms are also documented to occur under ideal conditions.
: || There is some randomness to dropsy, which is as Mark points out, a
: || general umbrella term. For example, there is a type of fish
: || tuberculosis which falls under Dropsy. A large amount of the
: || disease organism can be present long before any symptoms appear, so
: || a healthy fish can be a time bomb for years (and unlike human
: || tuberculosis, fish tuberculosis does not respond to antibiotics).
: ||
: || My own experience supports the randomness of Dropsy, mortality
: || occurring to one out of several hundred under identical conditions,
: || though Cyprinidae (esp. danios & goldfish) and Anabantidae (esp.
: || Bettas & Gouramis) seem more likely to get it, and when cichlids get
: || it, they tend to be older. Probably more info than most ppl wanted
: || to know though ;~). --

: I'm also glad you said that, because the times I've had it, was from a
: breeder, swore his fish were healthy, but yet, 2 batches, 2 seperate
: batches, different parents, etc, all came down with it... tank had been up
: and running for quite some time... and even had eggs a couple of times,
but
: stress seemed to be their demise...
