It COULD be "Dropsy", but I'm not sure from your description. Please quickly take a clear photo to show us because Dropsy can be deadly... Yet it can still be treated if detected earlier.

could be parasites, could be dieases, could be hit against something sharp

anyway just increase salt to 0.5% for the moment smile.gif

Dropsy looks like this:

But the one int he picture is very last stage liao. Initial stage got only a few scales popping out.

You can go to this site to see what your fish is suffering for:

As ET said, t could probably just be fish hurting itself.

ceasing of feeding would be recommended, meanwhile keep the water clean by doing frequent water change, whats the quarantine tank size? if possible, please take a clear shot of the affected spot smile.gif
