Scale Problem with Oranda Goldfish?

[Ikaika]

Hi,

My Oranda, Malbrik, was just cured from swim bladder disorder. But now her scales look like they are coming out but not falling out. I had this happen to another fish and she died a couple weeks after it started to show. I put Mela-fix into the water yesterday and the day before that, but nothing seems to be happening. She's eating, swimming with the others, and seems completely fine.

Thank you!

Sounds like dropsy. https://www.thesprucepets.com/dropsy-in-aquarium-fish-1381806

You need a good internal parasite medication like Kanaplex

Don't feed him for a few days.
