It looks like its ich, but I would leave it in the tank. It should recover on its own as lOng as its eating.

+ 1 on the garlic, lots of garlic, fresh garlic in a blender and filter out the juice and add it right to the tank, make the water smell like garlic, and keep the fish eating.

That's ich. For future reference, fish don't really get covered in bubbles

I've always had success with garlic in helping a fish get over it, but I just mush fresh garlic into the nori (it's always tangs with me) and let them eat that. I suppose the bath thing would work just as well?

Ich has 4 cycles, the cysts falling off the fish is one of the cycles, the ich is going to multiply and come back with a vengance, like Aquattro said, fish don't get bubbles!
