Eh, get rid of the one with dropsy ASAP. Sorry to suggest that, however, recently my guppies contracted a fungus and I yanked out all the ones with even a single dot of the fungus and the remaining two survived! I did 50% water changes for 1 week plus medicated the tank.

I placed her in a qt container with clean water. The fry are in the main tank inside the breeder still tho. What so you suggest I do with the fry to ensure they remain healthy. The tank they are in us 10gallons and nothing else in there with them.

Is the fry tank cycled? The best thing you can do right now is regular water changes. Be sure the water being put into the tank matches the water temp of the water being syphoned out.

Hope your fish recovers. Since you have a qt container, you may be okay with her. I don't have one and that is one of the reasons it seemed best to take the sick ones out to save the rest. It is my son's tank and I'd rather have two live ones than have all of them die!
