I think my fish has dropsy

Question

she still alive but i don't want to leave her in the tank (goldfish) I removed the fish into a bowl or should i leave the fish in the tank to die (i can't get medicine because i don't think i would get in time to safe her) should i clean the tank?

Answer 1

She either could be spawning or she probably does have dropsy unfortunately. If you dont treat her, leave her isolated from the other fish, im pretty sure that its not that contagious, but you shouldnt put her with the others.

I just found this site with more information and some pictures:

Answer 2

She is probably just dieing of disease.  Put her out of her misery and flush her!

Answer 3

i cant remember exactly what it is, so go to the library and look in the pets section with the dog books and u should see some fish books. sorry i cant remember about the fish's problem
