You should probably be cleaning his bowl more often
at least once a week. Little bowls like that build up toxins quickly. Just imagine being in a one gallon bowl for a month with your own poop. Speaking of poop... Whats his poop look like? I'm not sure this is dropsy, it could be. But it could also be internal parasites. Another member will have to help you with this. But in the mean time you could try feeding him peas. This will help him poop if he needs to
Or epsom salt. That might help with the bloating if it is dropsy. Haha your mom sounds like mine. Always thinking she is the fish expert. Oh, by the way do you have a water tester? If so can you post results?
