My betta that I've had for 14 months just died yesterday. I am pretty sure he died of dropsy. He became suddenly ill, stopped eating, and had pinecone scales.
What do I do now? I still have an aquatic snail and a live amazon sword plant in the tank (5 gallon). I know very little about how to care for the snail. Does the snail need to have a fish to produce waste to feed off of?
I would like to add another fish, but what do I need to do before I add one? Since my previous fish died of dropsy, I'd be worried that another fish would catch it. I would hate to see another fish die that way.
