it may be dropsy which is nigh on incurable and fatal. Do the scales look like pinecones sticking out? if not it may not have reached that stage yet as it happens near the end.
It could it be constipation? Try feeding squished up blanched peas.

You use epson salt baths on egg bound fish aswell.
Also a bacterial med just incase of an internal infection.
Black linning around the scales not sure what that mean.
Black patches are ammonia burns that are healing.
Do you keep any neon tetra's in the same tank.
