I dont know much about fish, my housemate has a tank. He isnt home much and doesnt seem to knowledgable about them when he is and I ask questions. But anyhow, there is this fat ass fish just hanging out in the corner. I am just wondering what is wrong. His scales look like there are about to pop off the poor guy.

How long has it been since the water has been changed, the tank vacuumed and the filter swapped?

ask if the fish is always fed dried food if so it may be contipated and all annoyed remedy fire in some wee mini prawn thingys basically change it's diet it may feel better.

I was fish sitting a few yeaers ago and we had a LARGE ice storm. The power was out for about 7 days. after that, i wasn't fish sitting any more. that sucked.

I had a tree frog that climbed into a container that held Miracle Grow and water, the plants in his cage were growing out of it. He couldn't get out. I found him a day later fully sumbmerged and bluish colored.
I wrapped him in a moist paper towel to revive him. i thought he was dead and bloated, but it was worth a shot.
About an hour later he was awake and fine, but still a bluish tint.
That was three years ago and he outlived all the other frogs... go figure. He's still hangin.

It has what is known as dropsy.

Yeah, I think so. I was reading up on it and that seems like the problem.

It is usually due to a bacterial thing... it is quite repulsive the weird scale thing...
the fish is probably doomed!
I was treating my fish for something a few years back... and came back from a night out, and put the 20 drops of ointment in the water... but coz i was pissed, each drop was slightly too big... so overdosed them! Spent the whole of the next day trying to rescue the remaining ones by swapping the water.... nightmare... fish are probably one of the hardest things to look after.
