Bro sorry... what do you mean by raised scales?

The rest of the betoks in the tank have always had streamlined bodies... lately (1-2wks max) this the only one looking like that. I've tried to take better pics but it kept moving and shying away from camera, natural I guess.

My humble opinion.

It definitely not pregnant.

Either swallowed something & having difficulty digesting or internal infection.

Stop feeding for the meantime, turn up the heater to 30 deg and maintain good water parameters. Condition should go away within a week or so.

Possibly an internal infection. Just have to keep it under observation.
I'm afraid there are no vets for pet fish.
