Hi everyone, my Dwarf Gourami has recently ballooned up! I assume this is Dwarf Gourami Disease, but I'm not sure. Big Boy has been my pal since I started college, and I really do not want him to die if there's something I can do to help him stay healthy.
If anyone can help me identify the cause of his dropsy (or what looks life dropsy) and how to treat it (if there is treatment), I would be so grateful.
Here's the link to images of him: https://imgur.com/a/g4vieit
Current water parameters:
Ammonia: 0.0 ppm
Nitrate: 30 ppm
Nitrites: 0 ppm
pH: 6.5
Carbonate Hardness: 180 ppm ... ~10.5 degrees
General Hardness: ~100 ppm
