To my knowedge there is no proven cure for dropsy. Some pet shops carry medications that 'claim' to cure almost every disease and problem including dropsy but I have never heard of them working successfully on dropsy. I would euthanase the fish.

Dropsy is the former name for oedema
Most types of fish can get dropsy, although in my experience, it is more common in live bearers and tetras.
In a fish, dropsy is fluid buildup. This fluid retention can be a symptom of a serious problem, such as a type of infection.

Jean Baptiste Emile Dropsy was an Art Nuveau jewely engraver....died in 1928. His work was exquiste!
Aegeus took so long because he needed proof that Theseus was his son.
Of course! It really doesn't take long for the kitten to distinguish its owner from other humans.
Dropsy isn't a disease in itself. It is a symptom of another problem. The only thing you can do for dropsy is treat with a strong medication. I would use Maracyn I and Maracyn II in combination and keep the water very clean. That is your best bet.
