Dropsy disease

Question
Hi,

I have a yellow balloon ram fish and it's been with us for the past 2 months. Recently it became a little lazy and this morning, it was bloated. It's scales were sticking out too. We checked for the symptoms online and found out that it's Dropsy disease. I don't know how long will it survive, but we want to try our best. Can you recommend something ASAP?

Thanks,
Jayesh

Answer
Yep, it is dropsy.

You can't really cure dropsy, only prevent it. There are some things you can do, but they are VERY expensive, and only work 10% of the time.

Just keep the water VERY clean, and maybe it will clear up. Nothing to do really but wait.
