Our danio cant seem to swim at the correct angle (its head up tail down) and if it stops swimming it turns up side down, theres a large open sore on its side that looks like its side has exploded. The fish was fine last night and its 1 of the biggest in the tank. Is this dropsey? and is it curable or should i just end its misery.

poor fish!
if its got an open sore on its side ( must be a fungal infection)i wouldnt give it much chance of getting better, especially if its swimming badly!
you could try putting it in a seperate tank and giving it some liquid treatment called eSHa HEXAMITA...all aquatic shops should stock it....and see what happens.
i really dont think it will survive to be honest!
Best of luck

It could be a swim bladder infection. You can buy stuff from the pet shop that you just add to the water. Some types of goldfish are more prone to this than others.

remove your fish from the tank immediately.

If you have other fish i would take him out straight away as he could pass it on to them.
get in touch with you vet he might be ok
