  1. It could be swim bladder  I would treat with Epsom salt baths 1 table spoon for 2 gallons for no more than 15 minutes for a couple of days  as Epsom salt acts as a muscle relaxants to relieve pressure on the swim bladder if you see no improvement after a couple of days I would do a course of kanaplex in food as some swim bladder problems can be caused by a bacterial infection

  2. Looks like body rot or an abscess that ruptured I would treat with combined treatment of kanaplex and jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone following this treatment schedule using jungal fungas clear fizz tabs instead of furan2 as it has been discontinued

  3. As you haven't seen any improvement after treating with maracyn what I would do is increase water changes add some indian almond leaves as they have antibacterial and antifungal properties as @813aquatics suggested and aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 5 gallons the salt will help with Gill function and add essential electrolytes at that level it shouldn't harm your plants and monitor for 1 week if  it's getting worse or your seeing no improvement after a week I would treat with maracyn2 in food as the active ingredient is minocycline that has proven affective at shrinking some types of lumps such as Granulomas and benign cysts and it's used to treat  abscesses  feed a small amount twice a day for 7 days

  4. Possible Columnaris  or bacterial infection the best treatment is kanaplex and jungal fungas clear fizz tabs containing nitrofurazone together following this treatment schedule use Jungal fungas clear instead of furan2 as it has been discontinued I would Qarantine and treat separately keep a close on your other fish if any start to symptoms treat the main tank straight away following the treatment schedule303842936_Screenshot_20210721-0214205.png.6ddfc9a22726041a4b6602a7fec58eb9.png

  5. Methylene blue can harm you benefial bacterial I would only use in a bath you can use ick x to treat fungal infection I would finish your course of jungal fungus clear fizz tabs and then treat with ick x if there no improvement if you getting regular out breaks of fungal infection then something else could be going on  such as stress poor water quality or nutrition weakening  their immune system making then more susceptible
