What med is that as you need a bacterlial med.
Popeye is closely related to dropsy because of the build up of fluids.
The blob is it fluffy or just a bleached out area.

not fluffy i think the bleeched out area is a better description

I would treat it as bacterial for now with having the popeye.

ok then i will let you know how it goes, just everything im doing seems to go wrong at the moment Hope there ok

It's the hobby you do have your down bits.
Just keep an eye out for flicking and rubbing, though its hard with white patches as they can do it with both bacterial and parasite.

well i have had no deaths so far and i thought i was luck but maby the fish gods are getting revenge for my lucky start

 

[WILDER]

Tell me about it can go ages without deaths then it all go wrong.
Good luck hope they pull through.
