Thank you for showing your process, you care a lot about your fish :’) I’m trying to heal my betta and this was helpful.
Did your betta survived? Mine has dropsy as well
I hope your fish gets well soon..
@@davidrosenfeld9447 I didn't see this comment before! Unfortunately it was too late for that betta, but I learned to catch symptoms early and a year later I'm dealing with dropsy again 😢 it's been 3 days with this treatment and this betta's symptoms are still pronounced but he's eating normally, acting normal too. Hope it works this time.
this is actually what we needed. I have watched so many videos but not showing the result. thank you sir! and also can you make a video of how to trear bloating goldfish? my fish starts swimming upside down. I even quarantine him for >6 days (feed him every 2 days with gel food) but still bloating
I use the same method for bloat.. if bloating happens very often to your fish, i think you need to change your feeding habits and also the food.. try feeding your fish with sinking pellets, enough that the can consume in 15mins.. you can do small frequent feeding than feeding in bollus at once.. you also need to increase aeration as this increases dissolved oxygen.. reduce water current as this gives stress to our fish.. you can message me in fb if u want to discuss more about your fish problems.. :)
sir my betta is in almost last stages of dropsy
i have bougth epsom salt
now how often i should give him epsom salt bath?
can i give him epsom salt baths 2 times everyday until he recovers?
Thank you for sharing this video much gratitude blessings to you 🙏
You're welcome sir!! Thank you for watching my simple video..
Sir very nice process of your gold fish.....we will try my flower horn Kasi Meron dropsy ngayon...
Cge.. hpoe it gets well soonest!
Nka tabang jud bos. Subscribed na. Shout out sa next vid.
Yes.. salamat bai..
for 40 years I couln't save a single goldfish from dropsy. Every one of my goldfish died of dropsy after 6 months and I have to replace them. What have I done wrong ? It will be a mircle if I can save them.
Super effective nito in just 3 days nag normalise na yung scales ng goldy ko, sa 2nd day kumain na siya at sumigla, thankyou for your detailed procedure boss😁😊😄
Im glad na improving ang goldfish mo.. sana gumaling na totally..
Pahabol lang boss paano po malalaman kung well cured na yung alaga mo? Balak ko kase quarantine pa siya ng 1 week for assurance, but as of now ok naman na yung scales niya, even na rin yung body shape niya, kumakain at nag poop na siya, kaso di lang siya ganon ka likot siguro kase mag isa lang sa tank
Ensure mo minimum of 14 days quarantine to completely clear the cause of dropsy....
do u do the epsom bath everyday or just once?
ang laking tulong po video niu sa mga begginer.. kuya star nong gamutin niu po pinapkain niu b arw arw..
Layunin kong makatulong lalo na sa mga baguhan din na kagaya ko..
Yes! Pinapakain ko araw-araw..
Feeding: morning and afternoon kakaunti lang.. wag damihan kase wala naman appetite fish mo nyan.. titikman nya lang yan den di uubusin.. ang mahalaga, may laman kahit onti ang tiyan para makabawi sa energy ..
Absolutely helpful!! Thank you !! ❤
tnx idol bago lang ako sa chanel mo pero nakita ko progres ng fish mo salodo ako sayo malaking tulong samin to tnx agen

Salamat bai... Im happy na makatulong sa mga kahobby..
Very important information! Dropsy is known as impossíble to treat! I could never to save a fish (betta) wich had got it. I will try your recipe next time when dropsy shows up here (once I prefere it doesn't 😊) Congratulations for the video and thanks for sharing your knowledge. 🙏
It feels good sharing something to help other hobbyist and enthusiasts.. i hope my method works with your fish. Message me if in case, brother..
@@ervinjons 👍
Hi Ervin.. Great video... I am in UK... the weather and water temperature is always changing..last week the weather was minus 10 degrees C ...this week is 15 ! Do i just use the water from my pond for the baths and the hospital tank..Does temperature matter if treatment is carried out in winter or summer as long as the water temp is the same during transfer to baths. .. What about feeding after/during treatment ... first up to 3 days in hospital tank maybe more, then longer in hospital tank. I was told not to feed for up to 8 days during treatment...I never feed my goldfish when it is 10 degrees C or lower Thanks
Thank you for the lovely video on how to treat dropsy.
Also 10:06 😇 future fish keeper? 10:11😆 😊
Thank you.... ;)
awsome video
Thanks!
Thanks for this video, mayron na akong idea if magkaka dropsy isda ko .
Good luck brother..
Hello Jon! Thank you so much for this very great video..i need this as i deal with this kind of issue with my goldfish.....
...does it matter if i treat the goldfish with this issue at night? Because right now, my goldy is struggling to swim and its 8:48pm
Prefer doing it at daytime since i have heard from my friends falling asleep in the middle of the process while waiting for the time which may result to untoward incidents..
Make sure you use EPSOM SALT not aquarium salt or table salt.. goodluck brother.. hope your fish gets well soon..
Great information!! I have just treated a Ranchu with your method and I have just put him into the hospital tank. My question, do I continue feeding as usual, if not what do I do?
Feed less than usual.. 20-25% water change daily until your fish recovers..
Do you add filter and oxygen pump to your hospital tank?
More po! This is helpful kasi I also have fishes po. :) New kapitbahay po at nakapindot na. Punta rin kayo sakin.
Very informative brother. Usually, isa ang dropsy sa hirap akong I currently na disease eh. Sana nagkaprogress siya.
Oo.. mataas talaga mortality rate ngndropsy.. and kakaunti lang na mga hobbyist ang sumusubok na gamutin ang isda kasi nasanay sa katwiran na "hopeless na pag nagkadropsy ang isda" which is not true..
@@ervinjons you're right. Love how you take care of your fish bro. Keep it up.
Thanks brother..
Bai naay iring sa luyo nag tan.aw sa mga nag dropsy hehehe... Ok kaayu dah...
Haha.. mao lagi..

Welcome bai..
I already considered mercy killing sa goldfish ko pero napanuod ko video mo sir and nabigyan tuloy ako ng hope gumaling yung isda ko. Sana magsurvive sakin thank you sir💖
Ill be with you 8n prayers bai.. hope your fish recovers..
My fish is not eating at all. Showing signs of drospy with slight scales protuding. I have placed in a hospital tank and added epsom salt to it and a scoop of kanaplex for 3-4 days now. But it does not eat. What can I do? Please help.
I treated my 18-year-old goldfish for dropsy, though I wasn't really 100% sure that was the problem. Maybe the scales did stick out a tiny bit, but they don't now. It is still staying at the bottom of the tank, swims around for a few seconds a few times a day, it does eat, but there definitely is a problem with him. He is currently in a hospital tank, alone. If it ever did have dropsy, it most certainly no longer has it. I've been treating, as you do, with Epsom salt baths and the malachite bath dips. He has also been getting Metroplex and Kanaplex in the water every two days and mixed in with its food.
What could it be and what else can I do for it? The large tank and hospital tank have no ammonia, nitrite, and very little nitrates, which go down with the weekly partial water change.
Please help.
thanks.
Sarah
I hope im not too late.. in my own humble opinion, adding medicines, especially antibiotics, to fish food is not advisable unless specifically calculated.. doing so may damage the vital organs of our little fishes.. kidney damage shows dropsy manifestations..
Going back to your concern, it is expected that the fish is still weak if it is in recovery stage.. but if the fish has recovered from dropsy, thats a bit of a problem.. try increasing aeration in your hospital tank.. use vitamins if u have access...
That's a really old goldfish! Maybe it's in its final stages of life? But have you tried salt treatment for your fish?
Im sorry to hear that po about your goldfish. And you managed your pet well for 18 years, im relatively a new goldfish keeper po. And gusto ko po sana magtagal din fish ko. Can you share naman po how to take care like size of tank, water changes freq, etc. Big help po sa nagsstart pa lang ang want the fish na magtagal. Salamat..
Heres what i do with my tanks (not on free flowing or drip system):
I do 25% water change twice or three times a week..
Scrape the algea if needed to allow sunlight for the fish..
I never clean tank, change water and clean sump all at the same time to preserve beneficial bacteria in the system.. i usually clean the sump a day or two after water change..
I give small frequent feeding rather than giving food in bulk..
Routine.. ;)
hey bro. can this method being used on betta fish ?
This is all natural so i guess yes....
Wow great video! Very informative and very helpful. Thank you!!
Thanks, man!

2.) Ano pong mga solutions/medications ang inaadd nyo sa hospital tank?
3.) Tuwing kelan po dapat iwater change yung hospital tank and how much water po ang dapat ichange
4.) If need magwaterchange, pano po yung dosage ng mga gamot? Magdadagdag po ba?
5.) Everyday po ba dapat gawin tong epsom salt bath and meth blue soaking or once lang before ilagay sa hospital tank?
6.) No feeding po ba while nasa hospital tank
7.) If pedeng pakainin, ano pong food binibigay nyo habang nasa hospital tank sila?
Salamat po sir in advance. Sana po matulungan nyo ko.
Hi can I ask you something?
Are you sure the water you used at the beginning is only half gallon? It seems more than that. May I know how much water you used?
The bucket i used was an empty half gallon ice cream bucket.. so im pretty sure it's close to that.. ;)

hi erwin, how many times did you treat your fish on this with the salt, methylene blue etc? I have a beautiful orange with early stages of dropsy caused by pop eye, I used erythromycin and metroplex for fungus but what im missing is epsom salt. I just however placed him in his own tank today after 7 days of treating the whole tank thinking I should treat the whole tank to protect the other fishes, any response will be appreciated
I usually do the treatment 3x max @ a weekly interval.. by that time, the fish is already healed..
Do you need to do the salt bath and methylene blue bath daily? Or only at the beginning?
Need not to do it daily bro.. do it only once.. but if there's a need to do another treatment (if theres very little to no improvement at all), do it after a week.. you may add meth blue every after 2 30% water change just to keep the water treated..
Hello thanks for such an informative video. My flower horn is facing the same issue. Can I do the exact same procedure to it? R can I add the Epsom salt to his tank it's 2 n half feet tank.
Yes you can do the same process.. dont add salt to tour tank.. always do treatment in a hospital tank..
Clean water means the water alrdy mix with aquarium salt and chlorine water right??
Which methylene blue is preferred ? Powder or liquid ? And also any brand will do right?
Clean water means good water parameter.. ;)
I prefer liquid methylene blue since it's already diluted and easy to mix with water.. any brand will do..
@@ervinjons I see . Is there any special method to check whether the water is in a good parameter??
Hmmmm.. the only way is to buy test kit.. other than that, you can see with your fish if theyre doing well and have no wounds or ulcers, then you have good water..
@@ervinjons I see 🙂 Alright Thank you so much for your info 😁😁 really helpfull
Love you mga bai...
Hello po, i know matagal na tong video pero ask lang if naka recover po ba sya after ng treatment?

Thank you.. i think epsom salt also did a great part in relieving the bloat and renewing the natural slime of my oranda..
@@ervinjons yes I like your method on epsom salt too. Did you use any in the hospital tank or just in the bath, and did you give the epsom salt bath daily?

@@ervinjons I tried it worked.
Hello . Many thanks for this video...You are speaking about gallon...is it american gallon ? and is the methylen blue absoltuly necessary for dropsy only ?best regards
Im talking about US GALLON.. meth blue is a very potent anti fungal substance.. it helps the fish not contracting fungal infections due to depleted slime and or lesions.. it protects the fish and aids in recovery..

Hi, great video. Treating a goldfish from my pond with dropsy. How often do you do the salt bath? Just moved it to a recovery tank today. Noticed its not happy and not eating. It was still eating in pond. See how we go tomorrow.
Also, my pond fish are not beading. Its funny cause my first pond was ignored, green water, no filter, heaps of plants though and babies galore. In this pond, the water is so clear and no babies. In saying this, i am also struggling to grown plants. Water is in spec.
Any ideas?
In 3 days, if theres no improvement, do saltbath again every three days as needed.. increasing aeration wipl also help..
@@ervinjons any idea on why they are not breading? Is the water to clean?
Usually they breed when theres a sudden change of temperature in the water.. at dawn, usually here in the philippines, where the water temp is lowest, they tend to spawn.. other than that, they need to be mature enough to breed.. maturity and conditioning plays a big factor in breeding..
Best dropsy video I have seen thanks ken u k
Wow thanks for appreciating man!
My most beloved fish has Dropsy. I hope thats the initial stage. He's 3 years old.
I've put him in a hospital tank, just now.
Will Stop giving him food.
Maintaining a temperature around 80°F.
Using Metronidazole.
Using Methylene Blue.
Using Epsom salt.
Will change the water every 2 days.
I can't think of me, as a fishkeeper without him. Ive been in fish keeping hobby for 15+ years, and he's the most important one for me, ever. If anything happens to him, i will never keep a fish again.
Please help me.
What should i do now? My mind isnt working right!
Thanks - nicely done
Thanks brother!
Will be getting epsom salt now - been using a tiny syringe to feed her orally with 3 drops of garlic water combined with a little green pea mush - but needs more help. Hope its not too far in delay. My Shambala knows I'm trying to help her, and always shows me when she moves a little better than before.
@@makhenaten hope this helps, brother.. hope your fish recovers..
So the Epsom salt bath is a ratio of 4 tsp Epsom salt to 1 gal. water. What is in the recovery bath and what do you put in the hospital tank. Also, what do you feed the sick fish with? I heard one feeds fish food soaked in a tiny bit of water with 1 scoop of Focus and 1 scoop of Kanaplex, as well as putting 2 scoops of Kanaplex and 2 ml praziquantel in the 10 gal. hospital tank. Does one add more to the tank when making water changes, to the changed water ie. the 50% new water one makes as a daily water change? Thanks so much.
Yes, thats right.. 4tsp of epsom salt in every gallon of wster.. with what im doing, i use clean water, nothing else, for my recovery bath.. then, if needed for skin and fin lesions, i do methylene blue bath.. i use clean water for my hospital tank, nothing else.. with 25% daily water chage..
Those medications that you've mentioned are antibiotics, if im not mistaken. Im not using antibiotics since it is not an over the counter drug, which needs doctors prescrition, and i am not a vet to know the exaxt amount of dosage to give to the fish..Yes you can use those BUT WITH EXTREME CAUTION.. you need to have the exact amount of medication to give to your fish with the right dosage, right frequency and time.. antibiotics are not single dose.. we dont want the bacteria to develop resistance to medicines and we dont want organ failure due to self medication.. best thing is to consult a vet if you plan to use antibiotic medications..;)
@@ervinjons OK, thanks. So not even a water conditioner for all the chlorine/chloramine and other additions that come already in the water from the sink?
@@mopsiecalopsie im using an artesian well so theres no chlirine kixed with my water.. you can use anti chlirine and other water conditioner if you're using treated water..
@@ervinjons I am in Brooklyn, NY and sometimes when I open the kitchen tap, the water smells like a public swimming pool, that's how much chlorine is in there. I can't use such water in my tanks without using something like stress coat or some other de-chlorinator!

When your betta is in early stage of dropsy, make sure to quarantine it first, use a jar, put 1 teaspoon of aquarium salt and 1 piece of withered terminalia catappa leaf. Change the water every 3 days and repeat the method, don’t forget to pray for your betta.

@@shreeharipotdar8243 The method works on goldfish.
Hi. I only have Jungle Fungus Clear, but the directions say to leave it in the quarantine tank as opposed to a soak. Would you recommend just doing a higher concentration soak with it? And keep his quarantine tank with just conditioned clear tap water?
As what i did, i preferred doing the high concentration soak to address immediate concerns such s bacteria and fungal growth although not recommended.. we'll only soak the fish for a short period of time.. such short period won't have significant negative effect to the fish..
We use liters, so can you tell me how many liters the half gallon is ?
Plus can you tell me for how many days the treament should last if i apply the medicine in the main tank.
Thanks
1gal = 4 liters
1/2 gal = 2 liters
Use spare tank (hospital tank) instead of adding meds to your main tank as meds disrupt and kill beneficial bacteria leading to ammonia spikes..
This treatment lasted about one month till recovery.. if your treatment does not show any progress, repeat treatment process..

Hi I have been treating my goldfish with dropsy with low dosage Epsom salt (10g 20 gallon) with kanaplex for 2 weeks but not much improvement on bloating or lifted scales. Fish doesn’t seem to have fin rots or other lesions and still active and eating. Is it too late to try the Epsom salt bath now? Also in your video did you end up with more than 1 salt bath/ meth blue in the 10 day period when the fish recovered? Thanks
As you've seen in my video, my fish has already shown late stage of dropsy, although he's still active and eating.. in my opinion, it's not too late for you to treat your fish. I just did 1 round of treatment with that fish.. dont forget to have 50% daily water change to wash away water impurities..
ervin jaum -Hi I have done a couple of Epsom baths (once per day) and the bloating seems to have come down a little. However now I noticed there is sign of fin rot. I don’t have access to methylene blue so would you recommend if I put salt in the hospital tank to treat the fin rot? I am doing 100% daily water change. the other meds I have is Melafix and seachem stress guards. Not sure either treats fin rots😟
can you create a video sir how to treat po yung fish na may ammonia burn?
Cge.. gawin natin yan.. but basically what i do is:
Add methylene blue using the desired ratio as labeled to the main tank/hospital tank.. meth blue reverses the effect of ammonia burns..
Hello, will this kind of treatment be also used for arowana? Mine has signs of dropsy and breathing heavily might be due to the bulging scales, my arowana is 10 inches long
Hmmm.. i have not personally tested it on arros.. i honestly cant say if it is... ;(
I hope your fish gets better soon!
@@ervinjons thanks anyway
I'm very saddened to say that the fish died early this morning. Thanks for your help.
Oh my.. thats a sad news.. well.. thats one of the inevitable events of our hobby...
@@ervinjonsIt's not a hobby of mine at all. We got them all from my son's elementary school carnival, grabbing them from the floor where they fell, taking home the leftovers etc. My son is now married with 3 kids! I feel fish should be in the wild, not in aquariums, but I don't know of any safe place for them, where they would live their lives in freedom from tanks, in which to put them. A part of me dies wiht
with them each time one dies. Maybe you know of anywhere I can let them live their lives, aquarium free, in Brooklyn, NY, or the nearest place to here?? They need massive tanks, some are really big already, and definitely not in the 55 and 45 gallon tanks that I have.

Hi. Your video is very helpful. May I ask where can I buy the epsom salt that you used? Thank you
I was able to buy at a local grocery store ..
After bath..how many day you can see the dropsy symptoms disappear .THANKS
In this video.. it took 5 days before i observed some improvements...
I added aquarium salt to the hospital tank. Can I still do epsom salt baths or is it too much salt? I’m also using water conditioner and medicine for the bacteria
Epsom salt and aquarium salt are not the same.. epsom salt is magnesium sulfate, used to remedy some skin problems and as a gentle laxative, which is ideal to relieve bloat of our beloved fish.. on the other hand, aquarium salt is basically evaporated sea salt which when added to the tank would result to a better water condition..
I dont have concrete idea if adding both salts to a hospital tank would gain more benefits or the other way around since i only do epsom salt bath..
Salamat. Dito.
No feed in 2 days?
Paano naman kapag 10 days?
First you say 4 tsp of epsom salt per gal. Then you go on to put 1 tbsp for half a gallon. So, which one is it??? I've just done 4 tsp per gal but don't think it is enough now.
Yes.. 4 us teaspoon = 1.33333 us tablespoon.. i just adjusted a little bit since i have already tried this formulation a lot of times, going above seems to work fine with my fish..
Nice video mate and great treatment. Liked and Just subbed, number 19
Thanks man!
@@ervinjons you are welcome, stay in touch 🤙
Nice video! Ask lang po pag sa hospital tank ba need pa ba ng filter or pwede na ang aerator nalang?
Mas maganda if complete set up 0adin ang hospital tan.. if may extra lagyan mo lang..
Looking back at your video and watching it again, you do not say if you put epsom salt, and how much if you do, in the hospital tank.
No epsom salt in the hospital tank.. you only need to use epsom salt during salt bath..
After the treatment. Will I put the fish back to its tank with new water? Or should I leave atleast 1/4 of the original water and add new water? Thank you!
Much better to put the fish in a hospital tank with new water.. then do 1|3 daily water change..

Hello. How about the food of the goldfish after the treatment? Is there any preferred food for them while in the hospital tank? How about the water that will be used to the hospital tank? Will that be the same water from the tank the goldfish used to be swimming?
Nice question..
What i did:
1. Gave the same food the fish usually eats..
2. Put new water to the hospital tank.. replace @ least 25% daily..
@@ervinjons Follow up question boss, how many days na malalaman ko na kailangan pa ba e treat ulit ang isda? kasi ngayun its been 2days na already pro hindi parin bumabalik yung scales nya sa normal. Should I treat the fish again or ill still wait for how many days?
@@4_O-CLOCK wait for a couple of days more.. a week or two after treatment, if wala kapa nakita improvements, treat mo ulit..
Hi, thank you so much for the video.
Today i notice that my fish have a mild dropsy.
But i cant find anyone selling epsom salt with saline laxative. Should i mix it with different saline laxative?
And may i know if the epsom salt need to be food grade ?
Thank u
Look for epsom salt (MAGNESIUM SULPHATE).. magnesium sulphate is a natural laxative.. be sure to purchase the unscented as scented ones are used for skin scrub to treat skin diseases..
Thank u for the reply❤️🙏🏻
@@sariputri8801 hope your fish gets well..
You can buy plain old epsom salt in any pharmacy or 99c stores
Uhh does this work for bettas..? My betta has just looked like this and it’s just happened but she’s quite bloated and her scales are *pineconing*
I’m looking for ways to help this and Epsom salt seems like it will help but I’m not sure yet
No harm in trying.. hope your fish gets well..
Hello boss natapik na rin kita salamat
I don't really do social media so I don't know whether the heart means you agree., or what? Some of my goldfish are over 17 years old, at least that's how long I've had them, I don't know how old they were when I got them. I need everything spelled out to me so that I know I am doing the right thing. Please let me know the answers to the questions below. Also, does one put anything in the general tank besides Cycle and Stress Coat, such as any sort of salt or additives? Thanks.
Reacting with a heart is my simple way of thanking my viewers..
Wow! Those fishes are old.. and in my opinion, you're doing good.. fishes wont survive that long if you did wrong..
In my experience, im not using any water additives nor conditioner since i have a very nice source of water.. if tou have access to such additives and conditioners, might as well use it.. i would suggest continue what you are doing.. 17 years is not a typical life span of a goldfish.. i admire tour love and dedication taking good care of your goldfish.. salute!
i used table salt, is that ok?
Nope.. sodium chloride is different from magnesium sulfate..
@@ervinjons i already did it, is he going to die or what?
He's not going to die but he's not getting the treatment that we want him to have..
@@ervinjons then what can i do without using epson salt? please..
@@noemie1399 epsom salt is the primary ingredient here my friend.. go to your local grocery store or local pet stores and grab one.. this is a must..
Sorry, you are two days late in replying. He died on Friday morning. Please advise on which brands/type of vitamins you would use, in case I have this problem again. Thanks.
I only used epsom salt and methylene blue in this treatment...
Nice background Jon..those hanging things lol
