well crap! i wonder how this happened.
Could this of happened from my adding Bio-Coat into the tank?
My gourami had some cuts on him so i added some bio-coat I had, the right amount for my tank size. And only just this morning did the danio show signs of this problem. I added the bio-coat 2 days ago.
My water conditions are extremely healthy.
Treatment:
It is difficult to treat, but in some cases where the problem is due to bacteria, if detected early enough, it can be treated. This is why you should closely examine the fish's environment for a bacterial problem, and deal with the source of the problem as a part of treatment and preventative.
By the time the scales begin to raise, however, it is very fatal to the fish. Salt baths can help to draw the fluid out of the fish. A variety of medications can be purchased that treat dropsy, which sometimes occurs due to an internal bacterial problem. Medications for external bacterial problems only will not be effective for this problem.
Gouramies and Cyprinids are highly susceptible to this disorder.
This information is good however the treatment info is terrible. I can't tell if anything is wrong with the bacteria. And oh... let me just throw my fish into some saltwater without knowing how much salt to water ratio to use, ill just use the entire can of salt yea? psshh (sorry, having a bad day due to registerfly.com's retardedness)
