Test your water so you can be sure the parameters are good. What do you use for oxygen? Is it working?
It could be anything, a parasite on its gills. If it were me, I would make 100% sure my parameters are good and all equipment is working. Then maybe treat with something for parasites if there's no sign of an infection. Just my opinion btw.
