The last betta I owned developed dropsy in his final days. He was in a 46gal community tank, all the rest of the fish were fine, there had been no new fish added for several years, water quality was good and there had been no changes that I could pinpoint... I decided that he was "elderly" (I'd had him about 4 years) and that probably was what caused or made him more susceptible?
