OK thanks I'll go for it! and I'll stop adding the melafix and just use the lifeguard even though there is still melafix in the water. Hopefully that will be OK....
Thanks.... But the potential mixing of the two meds will be OK? because the melafix will still be in the water and I will be putting the lifeguard in...... Even though I won't be treating with melafix anymore....
Oh I haven't updated my profile in a while...... I finished cycling my tank a while ago. Just to be clear I wouldn't be adding the melafix anymore I would be just adding the lifeguard. But, I was worried about the effects of mixing the two meds because the melafix would still be in the water and I would be treating with the lifeguard only....so do you think I should still try the lifeguard?

This is what my goldfish looked like with dropsy! This is a common slim goldfish not fancy fat one so you can understand just how big this fish was. Everyone i shown could not believe how big it was and everything i was reading online about how to deal with it said the same thing... Kill it its going to die anyway. Well i took it out of main tank put it in a small tank on its own no meds just clean water everyday. This fish is now completely back to normal back in the big tank with the others and is as healthy as ever! So will people please stop commenting on threads about dropsy saying its over for the fish because its not always the way!!
Ok thanks will do...... I have a question for you guys that isn't related to dropsy. I have a fish in my main tank that is eating and isn't showing physical symptoms, but he has been lying behind an ornament on the bottom of the tank and only comes out for food or if the other danio scoots him out. Should I be worried about him/ take him out of the tank? I am planning on taking the danio in the bucket out and putting him in the main tank tommorow... He is eating and looking good! Also, when is the soonest time I can add more fish? I was planning on getting some cherry barbs as soon as possible... Any advice would be great!
