Thanks Ash, how long do I keep her QT water temp elevated? I added another airstone to increase 02 but she doesn't like the strong current and seems stressed... but her swelling hasn't decreased at all. :(

I plan to change the water in the morning so I can add some fresh epsom and remove the spent M2. Should I still keep the epsom dose at 1/8 tsp per galllon? Do you think I should also add rid ich+ or maracide, it was mentioned in the dropsey article???

It looks a bit red where the scales have come off but not like an ulcer. Kind of a dumb question but can the scales "pop" off from all the pressure buildup inside her?

I really don't have the money to order kana online but I don't want my fish to be sick so I can try to figure out something if you think it will help much more than M2. Obviously, I want to do whatever I can for her. But if I do get kana, should I finish a full treatment of M2 before starting on it? It really all depends on the expidited shipping rates.

TIA, Stephanie
