Caper Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Now my black molly has scales sticking out and he definetely looks bloated. I take it this means dropsy :evil: I've been searching the net and these symptoms are only coming up for dropsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If a fish is bloated the side scales do stick out a bit as the belly swells. If it is dropsy, the scales stick out all over. Look down on it from above and see if it looks like a pinecone - that's dropsy. Here is a fish with dropsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caper Posted August 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 I tried to get pics...they are not that good...but Silk is definetely bloated Drospy do you folks think? I can't find anything else with these symptoms (bloat & scales sticking out). He did have a tiny bit of white (not Ick) by his front fins (pectorals?) and by his eye. So I treated with Melafix yesterday & today but if its dropsy, I guess I know what I have to do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
