Answers:

Yes, we raise fish and it looks like it has a bacterial disease. if it swims in a group keep an eye on the others, if it's alone then it may have made itself sick cause they are meant to swim in groups. Your best bet is to change the water every week and stop using chemicals to fix the water. Using chemicals could be what's making it sick. You need to decide whether it's worth it to fix the fish, it may be easier to kill the fish in there, sterilize the tank and start anew. Hope this helps. Good luck

That could be Neon Tetra Disease (which there is no cure for). Either that or some form of Ammonia poisoning like Septicemia.
