in order to help you, you'll need to give more info.

 

or if you'd rather not give more info, the best advice i can give you is to get a QT tank (20g would be good), a sponge filter, heater, thermometer, carbon, water siphon, and meds. i'd suggest QTing the fish, raising the tamp to 82-83, airating it well and seeing if that helps. if not within 3 days, proform a freshwater dip. if that doesnt work in 7 days, medicate the tank. depending on what the disease did in steps 1-3 will depend on what type of med you'll need.

 

these fish are planktonivores, so dont rely on algae to feed it. feed it three times a day at least with FD plnakton soaked in selcon or zoa (fish vitamins)
