Hafton Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 (edited) Male fancy guppy has become bloated in past few weeks. All other community fish are healthy w stable water perimeters, regular cleaning, no recent changes/stressors, and not over fed. Dropsy? Constipated(tried peas a few times in past few weeks)? In meantime I moved him to quarantine tank. Edited February 27, 2021 by Hafton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFins Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Usually in dropsy the scales will be pointed up kinda like a pinecone or porcupine. Heres a pic of what I'm talking about: I am not a guppy nerd, so I'm not sure if its a male or female, but if its a female it may be pregnet.

Colu Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) I would fast for a couple and add epsom salt 1 table spoon for 3 gallons epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxants so it will help with the constipation Edited February 28, 2021 by Colu Miss spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
