JessicaandMarshall 2 Posted January 6, 2005 I lost him over the holidays while Koko's was down or I would have posted this sooner. Chubby was my beautiful white Ranchu, and I've had him for over a year. He got dropsy, and I'm not sure why. I checked for parasites, none, I did the fish physical and everything checked out except his gills were lighter than they should have been imo. I ordered him metro-meds but he died before they came. I followed the PureGold advice for dropsy to a tee, but I still lost him. RIP sweet Chubby 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wynkin 1 Posted January 6, 2005 That is so sad to hear about the loss of chubby. Sometimes it happens so fast that nothing can be done to save the poor things. He was very unique, I have never seen an all white ranchu before. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
