Suspected dropsy?

[smoutylad22]

I have one Cardinal Tetra with what I suspect is dropsy. I have read that there is no cure for this. What is the best course of action I should take for the benefit of the fish in question?

Pretty hard to cure a small fish.

You could check water chemistry just in case. Could also try an Epsom salt dip (1 tablespoon to a gallon) for 10mins or so.

I agree but I will give it a go, thanks

Good luck! Keep us posted?

Also, you should probably quarantine it.

I'm very sorry. At least it isn't suffering.
