kinda looks like it has dropsy with the pineconing of the scales there. How are the water parameters ?
Hi there all my water tests show water is spot on. The fish is still eating but noticed it hiding in some plants in the pond

@Ronnieger in that photo above it looks like they sure could be raised scales. I've never had a case of dropsy so can't help you w/what to do if it is but others here will help.

Maybe google "Symtoms of Dropsy in a goldfish" and there may be photo's and explanations of what to look for to see if it is really dropsy. I just did and came up w/this one site but they tell you to use all different kinds of meds and I have no clue if those are safe to use or not. https://puregoldfish.com/dropsy/
