Thanks Ash, Yeah, I checked out the link on Dropsy. Fred has all symptoms except the protruding scales. He's still smooth, it's only been the last week that I have noticed his eyes bulging. He has 3/4 sympoms. It's the same as he has half of the signs for Ammonia. I'm really confused. He's still active, he'll even come over to the glass to 'have a chat'. He sits at all levels of the tank, still moves well. Fasting for 3 days now.
