When a fish has a swimming problem first thing I think of is a swim bladder problem. I was going to say he got damage to it because of the fight, but then he would have had trouble swimming since that fight.
Could also be because of a bacterial infection.
 
well my friend came over and took a look at him he said that the peachish gills ment not enough oxygen is this true
 
Oxygen might be a contributing stress factor, what exactly do you have running in the tank right now? Is there plenty of flow with some surface agitation? Do you have an airstone you could put in the tank? Is the tank cycled?

Regardless, it still sounds like a swim bladder issue.
 
i did both of those but how do i fix his swim bladder
