You might have too much amonia in the tank with salt and a couple water changes in the next few days the swelling should go down

Yea it happenned to me.. my clownknife had one eye that was looking like it was going to pop out.. it was raised and looked like a ball of puss.. members told me my ammonia was high.. I tested my water and it was 10 times what it was supposed to be.. My reccomendation is test your water.. and if ammonia is high dont feed your fish for like 2 days but do a 50% water change today add salt, stress coat (or water you use to de-chlorine the water) and then do 30% tommorow then 10% and see what happens in about 5 days he should be fine... Just to make sure it is not a fight wound right??

Theres 4 balas 1 redtail shark 2 angels and a keyhole. i have to go pick up my amonia test kit from my friend then i will do a wc

Only clean water quality can correct that problem. Test your water parameters and post the brand of test kit you used to determine its reliability.
