I bought some Kanacyn and have started medicating today. In this pic I can kind of see the scales raising a litle. I have lots of pics. Please give info on what you guys think this is.

Yes id have to agree with fwgal. It does look like dropsy.
All the best on medicating him.
 
55--that's not nesicarliy (spelling) true. My betta has been batteling dropsy now for about a week and he is still going strong. Eating, swimming, breathing. I still have hope that he will recover. Not all is lost.

Me and my betta will say a little prayer for him Auratus. Good Luck.
