lol dropsy?How to cure it ?

Dropsy is a very serious disease and is basically uncurable. Anyway, here is an article from fishlore:

Dropsy or Malawi Bloat Bloated fish, scales are raised, possible loss or lessening of body coloration. This is not really a disease, but a symptom of a bacterial infection and possibly malnutrition. There are medications available but try to increase the quality of the water by performing a 25% water change every other day and increase the quality of fish food given. If your fish's condition doesn't improve, try the medication. Your local pet store should have medication for this disease. Remove any carbon filtration before using medication because the carbon will remove the medication from the water.

Hope this helps and hope your guppy gets better.

There is dropsy mediations that can be bought at local fish stores. If all else fails, those should hopefully help. Good luck!
