Anyone know what fish this is?

[Lupin]

i havnt been worried about this fish because it has never acted sick and is always active. whats dropsy disease and how would i cure it?

Epsom salts will help. Best serve by dipping method. Did you fast the fish yet?

well, i need to clear the fish out of my smaller tank so that i can put him in there to be able to fast him, if i were to do epsom salts, how much should i put in per gallon of water?
