Could this be dropsy?

[zoeandoscar]

Hi,

I've noticed this on one of our biggest fish, I was wondering if anyone could tell me if it looks like the symtoms of dropsy?

The pictures are not very clear however if you look on one side of the fish (its the grey one) the scales are raised and the stomach seems very bloated making his body disproportioned.

Also, where the stomach is bloated the scales have turned a light browny colour instead of the grey elsewhere.

anyone have any ideas?!

Thank you!

With dropsy the scales stick out like a pinecone and the eyes pop out.
