So my betta hazmat has some somewhat stubborn finrot I’ve been trying to treat with daily 50 percent water changes, and I’ve been seeing very little improvement (if any) so I was planning on purchasing some kanaplex, and giving him a very light treatment to see if it helps.
However, while feeding him today I noticed the scales on the top of his head are raised! I’m concerned he’s starting to get dropsy. If it is dropsy, what can I do to give him the best chance at living? He’s a really nice betta and I don’t want to lose him because I’ve only had him for a few months. I’ll be testing the water later but it SHOULD be pristine, unless I somehow lost my cycle.

As you can see he’s resting on the bottom quite a bit, which is what concerns me. When he does swim his fins aren’t clamped, however.
