    is he getting harrassed, i mean does he have wounds or fins nipped. maybe i he the weakling of the tank and the other fish finally realised it. If no others are sick i assume your water is ok. how big is the tank and how many hidy holes are there.

    But if you can place it in a tank by itself and see if it gets better

    i also have found some new symptoms his gasping is a bit faster and his top fin looks like its pushed down into his back it still comes up every now and then but its mostly down in his back it looks really strange
