What are the fish fed.... JBL Novo GranoMix... small granules of dry food. Aqua one bloodworms. Wardley Spirulina disks. Nutrafin Max Bottom feeder sinking pellets. Zuchini, or some other vege. I don't feed all of this everyday... but these are the things they get fed. An example of a feed: One cube of bloodworms (run under water to defrost a little) Six sinking pellets (soaked for a couple of mins in some tank water) Piece of Zuchini (peeled and weighted down in the tank) So the tetras and the rams go nuts at the bloodworms, the sinking pellets take care of the cories and the zuchini makes the ottos and fox very happy

Thanks for replies thus far... The fish don't look like pine cones all over. The only things that are sticking out seem to be the gills due to the bloating effect, the scales all seem fine... that's why I didn't think it was dropsy. Maybe I will try feeding them some cooked de shelled peas and see if they improve. I have been searching the net as well and am struggling to find what it might be...

Hey team, Have some photos for your perusal... I have 18 Glo Lights and I have have noticed two of them seem bloated, their gills sticking out as a result and they are very white/discoloured compared to the others. They also seem to be breathing "harder" than the rest and I notice one now has little blood vessel things under the skin on one side... this maybe due to not getting enough oxygen? I thought it might be dropsy but I can't see their scales all sticking out... opinions? If not dropsy what might it be? One of the fish by itself: A clearer one of one of the afflicted fish: The afflicted fish next to one of its tank mates for colour comparison: And lastly the tetra school, the top one stands out big time, and is one of sick fish: I have also noticed that the two sick fish seem to be hanging out near the top of the tank quietly by themselves, they are still eating etc, just funny colour, all puffy and breathing hard. Cheers in advance.

Hello! I have been reading plenty on these forums over the last few months and have decided to finally sign up Growing up I had a mid size cold water tank with Cories, Danios and a giant comet, I stopped when I left home due to constantly moving from flat to flat etc. I recently got back into fish keeping several months ago (March) after returning from a holiday in Europe and settling down in my own house... My current tank is a 3ft community tank with Glo Light Tetras, Salt & Pepper Cories, Ottos, and a couple of electric blue rams... oh yeah and a Black Line Flying fox that my brother “dumped” into my tank a couple of months ago. Cheers.
