Does this look like HLLE or something else? Picked it up from someone breaking down their system hoping to save it. There isn't anything on it's other side.

Doesn't look like HLLE to me . . . but could possibly be a bacterial infection.
Do you have a QT available? What condition was the tank in when you picked up the fish?

I have had it in qt for 3 weeks now. It eats every time I put food in the tank. As far as the condition it came from. I don't know the guy met me somewhere. Any suggestions on treatment?

It doesn't swim around a lot either until food is added.
If this is in fact, a bacterial infection, it may respond well to a broad-spectrum antibiotic treatment. A combination that has worked for many, including myself, is that of Furan-2, Kanaplex and Metroplex. Another antibiotic with very good reviews is Nitrofuracin Green - though I haven't used it myself. You'll want to treat according to directions on the package, for a minimum of ten days.
