In the future, you should perform a 25% water change every two weeks.This will help to control levels of ammonia, nitrites, and nitrates.The water changes will reduce any problems with water quality and help the fish combat parasites plus reduce any harmful bacteria.

In order to maintain low levels of these toxins, you should also make sure not to overfeed your fish or overstock your tank.

Sorry, but your fish is dying, it has caught a disease called ICK, it is a fungus infection.

Do not get any more fish or put them in this tank until you have completely cleaned the tank (after he dies) with soap and water and rinsed it out well, do the same for the filters and throw away the old charcoal elements and make sure everything is completely dry and clean.Throw away whatever bottom stuff you have sand or stones and get new ones. You can wash out the plastic plants with soap and water and reuse them. I then suggest going to the local grocery store and purchasing large bottles of pure water to fill in the tank, put in new charcoal filters in the filter start it and let it run for a few days before you go get a new fish to put in the tank. Make sure you pick healthy fish that run from the net when the person in the store is trying to catch it, Do not put any of the store water in the tank, catch the fish with your net and then put it in your tank.

good luck
