so, I already have the fish in question in a hospital tank. 6 gallon tank only filled with one gallon of water, 2 Indian almond leaves, 3-4 drops of methylene blue, and keeping it at 81 ish. I watched a YouTube video on this specific treatment method for dropsy. I would post a picture of the fish but the water in the tank is quite dark and you wouldn't be able to see anything. in the video they left the fish in the tank for about two weeks, I think, without changing the water. the fish in the video was on the verge of death, my fish is not, he is ever so slightly swollen, very little pinecone-y scales, and a slight bent back, clamped fins, and dull gills, nothing that serious, I'm glad I caught it early, I need to know how long I should leave in the treatment. I was thinking 1 1/2 to 2 weeks want to know others thoughts.
thanks in advance
