I would remove him asap.

Sunken belly...Maybe a parasite.

As long as you have 85 degree temps and good water quality with plenty of oxygen then your doing what can be done.
 
very thin what size tank? add salt first off tablespoon for every 10 gallons with a fish this small and thin you do not want to use meds on such a small fish at least at first try ....

quarantine it in a 5gal, temp. @ 87-88 degree and also added salt too. no med
 
Do you have an extra airstone to put in the tank? Also try offering little food and keep the water clean I suggest 10% W/C a day for the next week. What was he eating?

This does look parasitic so I am not sure if you know about meds but i would use in very small dose's and the Bottle tell you not to mix. I would advise to follow the direction's if needed. Of course you will need to remove the carbon from any of your filter's when using any of the stronger meds.
 
i hate how people look but dont try to help or comment. Um well what i would do is add enough food to keep him alive while keeping the tank super clean so maybe whatever disease he has will go away or whatever it has :(
