If the scales are sticking out, as they seem to be, that's dropsy. The kidneys are not working well, and they aren't able to pull the water out of the tissues like they should. So the fish is retaining water, causing swelling and because of the swelling, the scales are lifting.
I think your fish has septicemia, and that's not good.
In my opinion, clean water will help more than salt.
If others are saying it isn't dropsy, what do they think the problem is?
