bloated gold fish

http://www.mu.edu/~buxtoni/puregold/...ame.htm#dropsy
basically, get the salt out, add some epsom salts and run the heat up to 84oF, feed
antibiotic food. see the pictures I took of a fish with severe dropsy. be sure to
read ALL the information on treating dropsy. dropsy is a symptom, not a disease in
and of itself. it is treatable, altho many people say it isnt.

Hi all ,

I have 29 gallon tank using mechanical top filter.
My pH is 6.5 to 7.0 and KH is 10 to 11 .
Ammonia is 5 mg/l

One of my goldfish is bloated . I have done 50% water changes and
added the Jungle Fish Intensise Medicine and some crsytal salt into the
tank.

However , the gold fish is still bloated and his body scales is
protruding.

Anybody have ideas and suggestions how to solve the problems.

Thanks.

Hi al ,

I have added a medicine into the tank and add salt too .
The infected goldfish is now more lively and swin around .
However its swelling is not reduced.
Is that OK ? Or is took very long to have swelling reduce ?

Thanks
