Ok, i just looked over at my fish tank, and i seen my long finned leoperd danio on his side, gasping for air - he can barely swim, i know nothing is gonna help him, he's already too far gone.

I have a picture, it looks lik Dropsy to me.
Under his stomic, is all red, looks like he is bleeding almost.
His scals are all raised, looks like a pine-cone.
He has blood spots near his tail area.

Can someone please tell me what is going on? this will be my 4th fish that died within 1 week.

I;m no disease expert, but from the bottom picture I'm guessing it may be septicemia:

Distinct bright red streaks on fins (caused by vascular inflammation due to systemic/bloodborne bacterial infection) and occasionally patchy red discoloration on the flanks of the body. Depends on severity of condition. If due to ammonia, may show in conjunction with hyperventilation (fast breathing) and gasping at the surface, erratic swimming, etc. Broad spectrum antibiotic. Can resolve spontaneously in some fish if source of water quality problem is removed.

The bottom picture seems to show the bright red streaks on the fins, as well as the red discoloration on the flanks.
 
Okay, well this morning when i woke up, he was dead.

So i took him out of the tank, and took some more pictures of him, To hopefully know for sure what was wrong with him.

Here are the pictures:

Can anyone else here confirm what disease this fish had?

I have also had 3 other fish die, within the past week, and all of them have died with different synthoms.

Any idea?
 
Septicemia had it with mine the belly goes all red.
Plus the fish that has it can cause other fish to die of it as the bacteria from the fish enters the tank.
I would add a bacterial med to the tank.
Good luck.
