I have a crown tail Beta who is displaying symptoms of Dropsy. Ive never dealt with it but I looked up what dropsy is and it sounds about right. His stomach is extremely bloated and hes starting to get pine cone scales. There is also a very thin film of oily substance floating on top of the water. I have been doing daily water changes but every morning there is a fresh film of oil, yet again. I have been doing salt baths but it doesn't seem to be working. The past week I have watched him spiral down from a completely healthy happy beta, to one who isn't even interested in his food anymore. Today was the first day he didn't finish his food. I'm not sure what to do, if there is anything left to do. If anyone has any ideas or tips from past experience, I would be forever grateful. Thanks.
