My dwarf gourami is sick. I think he has dropsy. His scales are all sticking out. Also, I noticed some tiny black spots around his fins. Plus, he's not really eating. My 20 gallon isn't set up, but I have a 1 gallon that I had started cycling (fishless). In fear that my other fish would get sick, I put him in the 1 gallon and dropped in a tiny dose of medicine. I have a desk light over the tank to keep it warm. I'm hoping he will pull through this. Am I doing things the right way with him? Any suggestions?
*edit - I forgot to add that he's lost a lot of his color. And wanted to know if I should give the 55 gal a dose of medicine as a precautionary step.
