    It is not a definite disease, but just the fish's abdomen becomes enlarged. It causes accumulation of the fluids in the body. The scales project out from the body.  A sudden swelling is acknowledged as acute dropsy whereas a slow swelling is identified as chronic dropsy that is contagious.

    The treatment is easier if it is caught earlier. Maintain water temperature to about 82-86 degrees using 1/8 teaspoon Epsom salts per 5 gallons to lose some of the fluid that has built up and to draw out toxins. Increase aeration, as the temperature inside is high and keep on doing this for about two weeks.
