I believe I lost a betta to dropsy. Although when I found her this morning she was severely beaten up - missing entire tail fin, bit marks on her back etc... Her scales were slightly pineconed, but could that have been from stress? It must have happened over night, as everyone was up for dinner last night. She wasn't dead this morning, but passed away about 10 minutes after I put her in the QT. She kinda floated sideways, and toward the end, acted a bit "jerky" in her movements. Now one of the other females is not looking as well as she normally does and is lethargic.
I read that a good treatment for dropsy is a combo of Maracyn and Maracyn II. Will these meds harm the corys, ottos or the shrimp? If any one has any other suggestions for treatment, I would appreciate it.
