Yes. At least the bacterial dopsy. At the local pet store there was 
shipment of rummy nose tetras that looked like little flaked balloons. 
We lost a couple but by the end of the 3 day course the disease 
was gone.

Dropsy can also be caused by kidney failure or stress. If it is due 
to failure then the fish is doomed. Kidney stress can be dealt with 
by increasing the salinity and see what happens.

I had a large siamese fighter that had dropsy. The first time I was 
able to cure him by keeping him in a saline solution for a week. He 
was fine for  some months before he contracted it again. This time 
he never made it back. Clearly this was a case of kidney problems 
combined with an old fish.
Any one who has had kribs will also attest to their susceptibility to 
dropsy and pop-eye. Often it will just disappear after a water 
change. More often than not the male will die regardless of 
treatment.

Back to the case of the rummy nose tetra: they were definitely 
cured and the root of the disease was bacterial scepticemia. There 
are a number of products that claim to treat this. The only one I 
have used with success is the AZOO anti bacterial tabs.

hope this sheds some light.
