Freshwater/ Pearl scale question

23 16:19:16

Question
I have a 4 year old Pearl Scale goldie that has clear blisters floating out behind her. Water params are within normal ranges Ammonia 0 Nitrates 0 Nitrites 20 PH 6.8. 125 gallon tank has been running for 2 years. I have four goldies in the tank, including a 15 year old telescope moor.

I've heard of gas bubble disease, but can't find much on treatment if that's what this is, but no other fish in the tank seem to be affected by this.

This is a forum with another person with this problem, with a picture that looks EXACTLY like what's going on with my Pearl Scale, but again, not much on treatments.

Any ideas??

Thank you.
