STOP Dropsy! How to Keep Fish Alive
Stop loosing fish to Dropsy! Learn everything you need to know about what causes dropsy in fish, how to prevent it and how to treat it
Dropsy, also known as "pinecone disease," is a condition caused by a buildup of fluid inside a fish's body cavity, leading to swelling and protrusion of its scales, resembling a pinecone. This condition often indicates underlying health issues such as bacterial infections, organ failure, or poor water quality.
Prevention is key to maintaining the health of your aquarium. We'll discuss essential steps to prevent Dropsy, including maintaining optimal water parameters, providing a balanced diet, and quarantine procedures for new fish to prevent the spread of diseases.

    Thanks for the info. Big help. These fish are so smart I think. I have a dojo and a pleco. 2 angel fish, harlequin rasboras, cory catfish, black shirt tetras, in a 75 gal. I am at my limit I am sure, unfortunately I mixed the 2 angels with the dojo and now the temp needs to be at 75. Now after watching I will put that down to 74. I feel like the dojo needs a friend to school with. Do you think I can add one more dojo?

      So to diagnose this we'd need to go through a whole list of things. 1st would be age of the tank as in how long has it been up and running. Then we'd move onto water parameters providing the tank has already cycled. Is there ammonia present, or nitrites? Did your nitrates spike? Has pH drastically changed? Then was anything new added to the tank, decor, plants, fish. Then where the fish came from, how'd they look when they came in did any seem off. How have they died?

    My Betta was lost due to improper food. The food was supposed to be designed specifically for Bettas, but the granules were pretty hard, elongated and as it turned out too big. The betta chew the sticks with a crisping sound, which I thought was ok, after all, this was Betta-specific food. But I figured out it caused a wound inside his mouth, and that's how infection got him

    • @Lefty3213a
      @Lefty3213a Місяць тому

      That is very unfortunate, but it is sadly reality. Once bettas became extremely popular a bunch of companies jumped on the band wagon and started making and marketing betta foods that were not good for them. I only feed my betta fish, bug bites, Northfin betta food Xtreme Nano and then Hikari Freeze dried or frozen Blood/Tubfix worms now. I am planning to do a new food guide for 2024 to hopefully educate people on this topic as well. I am sorry that you lost your fish to greedy company marketing and lies.

Well I've had it around a year now and its around 10 inches long and doing well luckily I have a 450 litre 5 foot planted tank so it has plenty of room to move around in.

    I just got a clown pleco about a month ago. I have him in a 20 gallon with 3 leopard danios and 3 zebra danios. I'm kinda worried because the clown pleco shows no interest what so ever in anything I put in the tank. He is totally munching on wood and algea but seems to turn his nose up at anything I put in there. I have tried pleco wafers, various vegetables, even cantaloupe. He refuses to eat anything but algea and wood. Should I be concerned?

      Mine typically didn't eat much either as far as veggies went. I would say asking ad he's munching on stuff you should be ok. You could try rapashy or maybe a North Fin algea waffer or hikari bottom feeder

      I bought some brine shrimp and another type of food to try. I'm holding off cause I'm treating my tank with general cure right now. He had some white stringy poop going on so that might also be a factor.

    Has anyone managed to breed them in captivity?

      As far as I know yes they can be bred in captivity like other plecos providing you can sex them properly and have the patience to breed them.

    Hi, I live in Hungary and really want to buy some betta fish. But Thailand and the USA are all away from my country. And I was reading some comments saying that the transhipper costs a lot. Should I buy fish from them or no?

      I only had the one bad issue with a transhipper. I bought like 50 bettas from Thailand and had none show up dead. I would say talk with the seller and their transshipper first find out their polices especially with dead fish and refunds. Take pictures of everything. and the buyer protections on ebay and PayPal should keep you safe

      thats an ingenious use :O I know people used them for assassin snails but I guess if they are made from flies it makes sense that carnivorous plants would like em too! What to feed carnivorous plants was actually one of the things stopping me from getting some. But now I might just have to get some :D

    Thank you for the video! May I please ask what is the advised male-female ratio? :)

    • @Lefty3213a
      @Lefty3213a 2 місяці тому

      It's always best to have more females to males I would say 2:1 or 3:1 would be even better.

    Great info.. I personally do not like Hygger products.. they are super reasonable in price but it comes with a defective water temperature meter. The hygger heater I have marks almost 10 degrees Fahrenheit of a difference..

      Woah! That's alot omg! I've not had that happen with mine. It's with I'm a degree or two of what I set it as. Did you reach out to them? They are usually good with customer service.

    just started growing some from seeds and wanted to know ... Does trimming it make it spread and fill in quicker?

    • @Lefty3213a
      @Lefty3213a 2 місяці тому

      Trimming will always help plants grow. I am not necessarily sure if it will help this carpet faster, though unfortunately. Sorry.
