AnswerHi Mya;
Make a water change and get a medicine for fungal infections. You can still use the Melafix for help in healing damaged tissue but it can't heal an established infection. Fungus Eliminator is a good one to use.
Since he is in a new tank, his skin may be irritated from "New Tank Syndrome". Here is a link to my article about it;

I hope he feels better soon.....
