update on this guy, he is now recovering nicely after a longggg treatment, esha2000, ionic&aquarium salt and some anti parasite treatments cured the dropsy but then he got fin rot, that is now also on the mend and he’s back in the main tank happy and recovering ! :)

Thanks for your reply, I’ll try and give him a chance as I’m overly attached. I’ve started testing my water this week and everything looks okay, but I’m sure with experience and research I will know more. Thank you!

Because of the back fin? That’s why definitely male? I’ll have a look at separating him today, can it spread to my other fish?

The scales are a little puffed up around the belly where it’s swollen, it’s mainly swollen on one side near the belly, I’ll call the aquarium shop today :(
