Hi all- I have a quick question about raises scales and what the early signs of dropsy are in an arowana- yesterday I came home to find my 6 month old silver had two scales on his left side that were raised up (I'm goin to get on a computer to upload a few pictures in a minute here); other then that, he has been fine. He's still eating, no more skittish than normal, and he is swimming properly (no bloating). I read my levels last night and everything seemed to be fine, I've done a 20% water change yeaterday, and am doing another 30% today. I have found some very limited information on treating this 'pine-cone' issue, and have raised the water temp to 82 from 80-81 in case it is bacterial.
He is about 18" long, in a 6'x2' (grow-out tank) with a juvenile Flowerhorn, two African cichlids, a Sailfin Pleco, and two lavender gourami. I am running a Penguin 400 and 280 as well. Any ideas on whether or not this may be symptoms of 'dropsy'? Or what the best cause of action would be?

Thanks so much for the insight ! I really appreciate it.
