does my pleco have dropsy? Pics attached..please help!

Post by darwin »

Either I am crazy or this pleco has dropsy. Please help. I know this is a fatal disease. How should I deal with this, if he does have dropsy? His lipe is also whiter than normal and his eyes seemt to have white rings around the. Also he has gotten fat or has dropsy? I am not sure maybe it his just the pattern on his body? He also seemsto be shaking like he is cold or something. This is the kind of pleco I have..click link http://www.planetcatfish.com/catelog/lo ... /318_f.php
