Answer
It sounds like your fish has pop eye and it could be infected. so go to a pet store like petsmart or something and buy some maracyn tc or maracyn this is an antibiotic and it will turn the water a yellowish color. be sure to seperate the fish into a serperate tank. follow the directions on the package. good luck!
