i will ring the aquarium where i bought it and ask if it was doin it there.

I believe white poop means hexamita. You need to get him medicated foods. I believe Jungle has antiparasite foods. Or if you could just go to the fish section at Petco, you'll see a whole bunch of medication there.

Is it eating?

Clove oil or freezer bag him. Medicine wont do it at this point. You should have addressed this issue sooner, but sometimes you cant.
You can try hyposalinity and put a good dose of salt in and maybee keep him alive to be treated, But its your call.

Lets hope you don't have children. One gets the sniffles and you are already buying a casket and shovel....

Freezing is NOT a humane way to put down a fish.

I may have misspoken, I didn't read the second post.

use aquarium salt and a load of pimafix and it should help also make sure ammonia and nitrate is 0 and dont feed him crappy food lots of good food comes with antibiotics for your fish try that and raise temp to 84 degrees or so helps to kill bacteria and fungi

yeh i have now been treating him with fish zole and moved him to a tank of his own.
fish zole is metrodozol or something and his face and eye are nerly better. still not eating though so how could i get him to eat?
