Hi everyone, thank you in advance for the advice. I’ve had my girl Flare, pictured, since June of last year. She’s always been healthy and feisty, but still gentle enough to live in a community tank. However, I just now noticed some concerning behaviors from her. I did think the other day that I hadn’t seen her, but it’s not abnormal for her. Regardless, I would like some help from anyone that may have an answer. She is almost unresponsive, and let me guide her into the iso tank pictured. In the iso tank, she isn’t swimming around much, laying kind of at an angle. Her belly is enlarged, her fins are slightly clamped, and her body posturing and language is way off (which is what I noticed first). I’m obviously worried about dropsy, but I don’t personally see pineconing. I truly appreciate it, and I hope yall are all doing well.

-also I apologize about the dirty tank I just did a water change

  1. She’s definitely bloated, and laying at a weird angle is concerning. Can you tell more details about her tank?
