I'm very confident that it isn't Dropsy. The bloating is too minor and it doesn't match the wasting which is the primary symptom.
I keep the tank at 78F.
I just got home (been away a few days for work) and found a couple of interesting things in my war chest (you know, it really helps to have some idea what names to look for):
-Jungle's Anti-Parasite medicated food apparently contains Prazi! I tried putting some in before I left a few days ago and it seemed everyone tasted and rejected it, but I'm hoping that'll change tomorrow since they haven't eaten in a couple of days and I'm going to try Jeffww's trick of soaking it in garlic (I'm also going to crush some of it to make it bite-size for the Cardinal Tetras in the tank).
-I also looked at the ingredients on Tetra's Parasite Guard tablets and discovered they contain "Praziquantel, Diflubenzuron, Metronidazole, and Acriflavine." Unless you guys see a reason not to, I'm thinking I'll go ahead and dose the tank with these while I wait for Charlie's meds to arrive.
