Answer
George,
Goldfish fry are very fragile and need their water to be very clean. I am thinking that your tank has an ammonia and/or nitrite problem. Test your water to make sure both ammonia and nitrites are at zero. Let me know what the readings are so that I can help you better. I would remove the other fry and put it back into the tank you originally had it in.
