My fantail,evee got attacked by the other fish a few days ago.I think shes female and thats why they attacked her but this time it was really nasty.The other fish(mostly fantails) have pulled off her scales and now a kind of fluffy stuff has grown on the open skin.Is this a kind of fungal disease or is it her skin getting better like we have flaky skin.She seems happy enough in her own bowl and shes still eatin.I just looks really sad that shes got no scales and has this white fluffy stuff on her.Is there anything i can do other than having her in her own tank with medicine?
p.s ive put a pic of her at the bottom.The white bit is where she has no scales.

It sounds like a secondary fungal infection to the wounds. Treat her with fungicide or a similar medication to cure an outbreak. :) Good luck.
 
i know how you feel, 2 of my fish have dropsy at the moment. it's amazing how attached you can get to a fish......i'm praying for you, and your fish
