Dnogator Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Hi all, I have an established 55 gallon community tank with good water parameters. Zero ammonia and nitrite, 10-20 nitrate. I have 7 leopard danios as part of the community. One has been bloated like this for about 4-6 weeks. She acts normal and eats everyday. None of my other danios are like this. Any thoughts on what’s going on? Thanks, Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbie Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It looks like it might be dropsy? Or maybe constipation? I had a zebra danio who looked the same way (I didn’t realise it was a problem since it came looking like that) but was acting perfectly fine until I found it dead in the tank one day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 It could be dropsy or constipation as @Bobbie suggested or it could be egg bound I would Qarantine and and treat with epsom salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons and maracyn the epsom salt acts as muscle relaxant if it's suffering from constipation or egg bound it will help it pass them if it dropsy it will help reduce fluid buildup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
