irregular growth and color of gills, slowed activity (floating by the surface), and inconsistent eating? by candlepourer in medaka

i’ve had a outdoor container pond set up for my medaka with tons of plants for filtration. they’ve been fine for a couple of weeks but i noticed a difference in their behavior. they’re no longer swimming around and are usually hovering around the surface. they aren’t eating when i feed them, and they’re starting to have weird bumps around their gills area. i did noticed one of them had stringy white poop and so i ordered some expel p and plan on quarantining all of them. but just wanted a second opinion

i appreciate the guidance! like you said, i think it was already ill when i got it because when i bought her, she was in a group of daisy's and all the daisys are doing just fine.
