Dropsy can not be mistaken for any other disease. The scales of the fish stick out from the body like a rasp or file. The disease is incurable and can usually be traced back to poor water conditions.

Will an albino tiger barb fish attack a fighting fish?
Original answer - "i don't know but try this. put a dead fighting fish in a tank that has albino tiger barbs OR tiger barbs and see if the fish attack or eat the dead fish."I have an albino tiger barb, and through my research and experience I can almost guarantee that a fighting fish and an albino tiger barb will absolutely not do. Scientists don't know why tiger barbs have an unusual fin nipping behavior. I emphasize this especially if the fighting fish is the Siamese kind. Long fins+tiger barbs=bad choice. My albino even nipped the other albinos' fins, which proved fatal. Don't take your chances.Sources - "Aquarium and Pondfish", personal experience.
