Is that possibly an advanced case of Dropsy?

Seems like it! Can I do something about it ?

I don't have any first-hand experience. However, my reading about the disease is that it is a bacterial infection and only reacts to broad-spectrum antibiotics. (It is not available in the UK, but maybe in the Netherlands?)
It seems to be a nasty disease with high mortality rates, especially in advanced cases. It has to do with kidney-related issues that then spread, causing severe bloating of internal organs in the process.

Sorry to hear that @Kevin2016. I don't think it would have been treatable, so you did the right thing.
Hi all,
cheers Darrel
Horrible for you, but I've never seen a fish recover from there, so it was the right thing to do.
