Hi

I'm just wondering if my leopard danio is suffering from dropsy or if it's just overweight.

It's been like this for about 8 weeks now but it's very active in the tank and it's stomach was a little larger for a couple of days then went down a bit about 7 weeks ago.

I've managed to take a few pictures of it which can be seen at http://s1379.photobucket.com/user/Chris_Frankland/library/leopard danio, now the rest of my leopard and zebra danios are quite slim apart from this one.

Cheers

Chris

Yeah, can't see the photos.

Dropsy basically looks like pine-coning. It's a symptom that usually means it's too late. The scales literally stick out, like so...



If it just ballooned up a bit it could have been a female with eggs (that were dropped), or maybe the system was a bit backed up.
