First, have some myxazin ready to dip a cotton bud in, then lift the fish out in a net, dab the myxazin on, and release them back into the tank.

Best of luck!

I personally found Myxazin to be more effective than Esha in a few situations, it's also good as a topical ointment in the event of emergencies too!
But definitely a good idea to have Esha on hand as well.

Hopefully it'll help Molly out.

Belated happy birthday! Hope it was fab!

I'm late! Happy belated birthday, hope it was great!

Bad news, I'm afraid :(

Your tank is way overstocked, and the water quality is suffering as a result, and making your fish ill.

Ammonia and Nitrite should always be zero. How often do you do water changes, and how much?
Do you change the filter sponges for new ones?

Hi,

Sorry if I missed it in your post, but what size is your tank? How many fish are in it?

Also do you have results for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate?

Both passed on now, Wonky earlier in the week, and Zonky (my favourite) there tonight.
It was a shame, but utterly for the best, they were never going to turn out okay.

Bit relieved now, which is terrible, but after death it was easier to see all the little flaws that would have made their lives very difficult.

Giving up on these little dudes :/

They've both been bottom sitting for two weeks, only move to get food and even then can't seem to get off the ground, just a brief burst of swimming then a thump back down :/
If they do move, it's just to shuffle about on their stomachs, but mostly it's just sitting in the one spot.

They've also not grown at all really, they're still very very tiny, and going by everyone else's fry they should be nearly ready to go in with Mum and Dad, but they're no bigger than a cardinal tetra.

Oh hi mekon, I saw your post on a different forum.

So sorry to hear he's gone, but I think you did the right thing, once they have dropsy it's not a good place to be, and they don't usually come back from it.
So you did the best thing for him.

Oh she is SO beautiful!
