Unfortunately, this fish is moribund and several reasons for cause would be
- starvation
- crashed into glass or other object
- internal issue

When moribund, survival is drastically reduced and decision has to be made to add aeration and hope for the best or lessen suffering by euthanizing by placing in bag and freeze it (I cant bear to do this step myself)
