I would say to check your water perameters first.
If your water is fine, though difficult to say without seeing it, sounds like it might have dropsy. I would go to a good LFS for meds.

maybe pop-eye and dropsy?
definitely get some reliable medications.
remember to use only half dose if you're using strong medications.

yeah, use medications for dropsy, like maracyn 1, 2, etc...put him in a smaller tank, treat asap, also, how are the other fish in the tank doing? that could be a good indication of water parameters, also check to see if there are any flukes or anchor worms on the fish in the tank, which could be introduced from feeders, and lead to secondary infections with pop eyes, and scales popping out!
so i should get meds, salt will ot do the trick, the cut he has on the side is worse. seems when ever i turn off the lights and wake up in the morn it gets worse. now it a whole flap coming off, its deep to. his eye is full of stuff and inthe center of it there is a white spot. ill try and get some pics, thanks for the help so far.
