What is this Golden Loach Skin Blisters Swelling

[tinsar]

I've got 2 golden loaches and one has become very swollen and looks like he has blisters or skin bubbles on his body. I took a picture but don't see a way to post it. His body looks normal 'till about half inch behind his head then the whole thing looks swollen and there are large bubbles in the skin. Nothing white, none seem to have 'popped', no open wounds it just looks like his skin is clear and blistered out. He seems to be eating well and is active but swimming seems slightly cumbersome. The other loach is fine and normal. Any ideas??

Sorry, that's completely new to me so I don't know what to suggest. Good luck though.
