Im genuinely concern for my fish bcs her scales look like their about to fall off & the other fish next to her is how she should be looking. i’m just hoping my conclusion is correct & that she’s pregnant & ready to burst at any moment bcs i feel so bad for her she’s always at the bottom too bcs it looks like she’s having a hard time swimming. 

i think she has dropsy! i researched the popped out scales more thanks to the mentioning of it usually being a sick fish! i’m getting a separate tank for her so she doesn’t infected my other 2 fishes! & i’ll definitely continue to keep a close eye on her thank u!
