Caryl Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 If the scales are sticking out like a pinecone all over (including on top and all the way to the tail) then it is dropsy. If it is just distended over the belly area I would suspect constipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillskE Posted November 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 must be constipation then...what do for that? feed it peas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Peas first. If that doesn't work, Google for how to do a bath in Epsom Salts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 Is the fish still eating? That looks pretty pineconed already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
