I Think I Might Have Dropsy

[Linda B xxx]

I came home from work and opened the hatch on my tank to feed my fish and 1 of my danios is very bloated and looks like a pine cone.
i've been searching on here for posts with these symptoms and i think it's dropsy, but i want to make sure.

i have set up a hospital tank and isolated the poor thing, but i could do with some advice on how to treat it or what to do next, all the fish shops are closed so i cant get anything until the morning but i dont want my other fish getting ill, they all seam ok at the moment, i have done a 30% water change but the stats were fine.

the last fish i added were neons and that was 5 weeks ago, i have 6 neons, 4 platys (lost 1 2 weeks ago but it didnt have any of these symptoms), 7 danios and a hongkong algee eater.

my tank is 90 ltrs

any help you can give will be very much appreciated

Thank you.

Add some salt to his isolation tank as thats really all thats left to do it helps draw the fluids out.
Once scales stick out its organ failure.
One tablespoon to 5gal.
Good luck.
