When was the last time that you change the media in one side of the Fluval? You do only change out 1 side at a time right?? Those fluval I've heard can become a generator for bad water parameters if they are not cleaned regulary. I took mine out when I notice that is was getting all junked up in less then 3 weeks on a 55 gal with not much Bio load.
What are your parameter for your water? If a fish starts looking bad you should be testing your water first and then act on what you find.
Hope the little guy makes it.
