Re: Swollen belly fish

["Zsolt Fazekas" <fazekaszs@hotmail.com>]

I think it is dropsy, a bacterial infection. Once it is in such a late stage 
it is untreatable. As far as I know the fish weakened because of something, 
like keeping conditions, water conditions (to much ammonia, nitrid or 
nitrate in the water) etc., and the normally unharming tuberculosis 
bacteriums - which are always present in the water and in the fish - took 
over the fish having weakened immune system.

I had the same problem, although long ago, and I asked a veterinarian about 
it.
