Are the scales protruding out first, then falling off or are the scales just there one day and gone the next?

It sounds like it could be a bacterial infection. How big is your tank?
You could medicate them in the display tank if it's not too big.

I think exodin is for parasites.
You need an antibiotic like Kanamycin
