Sound like it could be a swim bladder problem

 

[hellstorm]

it could be dropsy, even though it mainly happens to gouramis other fish couold get it aswell. does it scales stick up like a pinecone?

I was thinking along the lines of dropsy too,
or another form of a bacterial infection.

Are the swollen tank mates eating?
