His left side is completely normal, my mistake. His right side is damaged. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

I tested 0 ppm of ammonia, and I don't know the parameters for nitrate and nitrite. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Not very clear, but the darker spots are the missing scales. His right side is perfectly normal, so I have no idea what's going on. Is he going to be okay?

I just observed him a bit, and he is quite lethargic. Every time he gets close to the currents from the filter, it kinda pushes him away. He's been gulping at the top, which is not usual. Will he survive a week without the 30 gal? I'm not able to get it asap :( I'll provide pics in a few...

PLEASE PLEASE HELP! Recently, I saw a tiny white spot on the middle of his right side, under his scale. It soon disappeared, and I thought nothing of it. Yesterday, out of the blue, the white spot grew prominently in place of the scale. It looked like fungus, so I made plans to treat it today...

I was about to clean the tank, when I noticed the white spot was gone. It looks like his scale fell off (it's just gone - no other way to explain it), and now others are starting to do the same. What's going on? :( does this have to do with the dropsy it may have had? HELP! :( Sent from my...

*note: it is quite fuzzy and it only appeared prominently today. A few days ago, I saw a little white, but it disappeared quickly. Now it's back and idk :( Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

The first pic in this reply is how much it protrudes. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Not the best, but he's a swimmer and would not stop swimming. Will be posting more in a bit. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

UPDATE ON NUGGET: Everything (well, almost) seems to be doing fine. He's swimming normally, without any signs of trouble, and his appetite is fine. His scales have become normal again and I was relieved. But now, something's wrong again. On his right side, there's something white that's...

Thank you all! I'll check the parameters soon and update you! :) Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

Oh, I'm sorry tangs27! I didn't see your comment. I'll keep it off, I'll just do water changes. Could you possibly check my last thread? I have a few questions on fish-in cycling. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

When I got my fish Nugget, the workers at the pet store did not mention cycling at all. I never did, and my fish only suffered dropsy (which he's recovering from, look at my recent threads for info about that), but had no other problems (knock on wood). I've had him for a while (since July)...

How long do I do this for? Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

UPDATE: Nugget is still alive! I decided not to get the clove oil and wait a few days to see his behavior. My hopes for life were starting to diminish, until on day three he started swimming again! I'm extremely happy. His scales are less protruding (which was unexpected) and he's eating...

Thank you for trying to help, it means a lot. It's very heartbreaking for me to do this, but the poor fish shouldn't be in misery any longer :( Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

It has been up since July and it is a ten-gallon tank. Sadly, I have decided that I need to take Nugget out of his misery :( he has been struggling to swim and sits at the bottom of the tank most of the time now. His scales are protruding quite badly. I'm going to use clove oil tomorrow :( Sent...

It was also the last day of the med. I'm putting into consideration starting over and putting poor Nugget out of his misery, but euthanasia isn't something I'd like to resort to. I'm so conflicted on what to do. Sent from my SPH-L710 using Aquarium Advice mobile app

UPDATE ON NUGGET: I did the water change, but I think it stressed him out. His scales are slowly but surely becoming more prominent, and now he's not even swimming around until I walk up to the tank. He sits at the bottom of the tank and doesn't do anything. All I've been doing was giving him...

Everyone, thank you so much for the advice. I'll try my best to keep y'all updated on how my fish does, and I hope and pray that he survives through this. I have some questions though: 1.) Will doing a water change affect the medication routine? 2.) Can I add Epsom salt along with Maracyn 2...
