Pineconing Scarlet Badis

Any ideas what's wrong with him?  He used to be more gray/translucent but a couple days ago he turned opaque white.

Looks like Dropys that's caused by a number of thing Usually when they get pineconing like this its caused by organ failure kidney infection or internal parasites  the most effective treatment I have found is a combination of metroplex kanaplex and aquarium salt what I would do if he's still eating is do a course of metroplex in food feeding a small amount twice a day for for upto 21 days add kanaplex to the tank  and add some aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons metroplex treats aeromonas that can cause some of the symptoms associated with Dropys kanaplex is a good antibiotic treatment for kidney infection that can cause fluid buildup and and the aquarium salt Will help reduce the fluid buildup if he's not eating dose the tank with metroplex @memorywrangler
