Moved the rest of my fish the only 3 (Clown Pleco, and 2 kuhli loaches) to my hospital tank, I know I said I had a common plec but I actually forgot it's a clown plec but for some reason it was labeled common at pet store.

No need it already died.

Thanks, my well has been having some issues lately and my landlord can't be bothered to fix it apparently. the only thing he did was have a filter installed after the water softener. the well is about 50 years old and it is now bringing up sand & dirt and the landlord called the well guy to...

dang, I never even saw this coming, was never prepared for dropsy :( I guess now I know to stockpile on some stuff like aquarium salt

Well I think we can scratch the hospital tank idea :( he just passed like maybe a few minutes ago he stopped breathing, isn't moving, nudged him with net and he's not budging anymore, all tell tale signs that he's dead. Upon scooping him up I noticed his belly is like really fat, is that normal?

Not exactly, Normal salt I think would harm the fish depending on what it has in it, but aquarium salt has some kind of additive to it, atleast that's what I've heard. basically in short I've been told in caps "DO NOT PUT REGULAR SALT IN A FISH TANK"

Yeah I just haven't had the chance to get out of the house this week yet. but I'll go ahead and get the Hospital tank prepared.

I'll move over my sponge filter and get my hospital tank all ready

well I don't have aquarium salt rn and idk what garlic to use like do I buy the pure garlic from store and not powdered right? because I only have powdered garlic

ok I know there's not a cure for swim bladder issues but can dropsy be cured? I haven't even seen him eat yet.

here's the second video

also results on my nitrite and high ph: Nitrites: 0PPM PH: 8.2

I am uploading another video I was going to nudge him with my net to show you but I lifted the lid and he freaked out and he's belly flopping around

yeah he's breathing and moving

here I uploaded it to youtube,
