I posted this in the goldfish section, but thought I would also post here, since it fits in both categories and I haven't gotten a response yet in the other. Hope that's alright. I am actually posting about my aunt's goldfish. Let me tell you what she said and I will ask her any questions you have.

"I have a gold fish that had dropsy and he went through the course of treatment but never got rid of his bloating. He now has big bubbles all over his body. His skin is coming out between the scales. He isn't itchy or else he'd be swimming into the wood or stones to deal with it."

I will find out what she used, how big the tank is etc. Until then, any ideas?

Sounds pretty grim. However, more info is needed. How long has she had it, how long has it had symptoms, what size tank, etc. Recovery from dropsy is pretty rare, is she sure that's what it had?
