Answer
Tyler,
Does it look like it has a piece of cotton in its mouth? If so, it has cotton mouth. I have enclosed a link that is great on how to treat it.

Let me know, if after checking out the above link, if you don't think this is what your fish has.Cotton mouth is very infectious and contagious.
