Sorry about the pics. He ain't moving much but he is breathing hard no other fish is and I think I see some kind of fungus on his gills..... I'll try to get a pic when I can

Post some info of the tank. Water parameters (ammonia,nitrites,nitrates,ph and temp). Last wc. How long is the tank been up and running? Tank mates? That'll help a lot more.
 
Ammonia 0 nitrites 0, ph last time I checked was 8 but I can't check yet n it might be lower now it's a planted tank.the temp is 80.. the tank has been running for two months... it's a 200 gallon tank that has a 40 gallon sump n a 200 gallon uv canister...every fish is still small but I have a arowana, two gold indo dantoids, Flagtail, sen bichir, two peacock bass, two clown loaches, clown knife, fire eel, tiretrack eel, South American lungfish fish, 5 gold mystery snails that are doing great somehow haha and my pike that is trying to die on me =/
 
Try a methylene blue bath every day for 1 week. Dose the bath with 1ml per gallon of methylene blue (Kordon's) and add about 1 tablespoon of salt per 5 gallon. Keep the fish in the bath for 30 minutes, and make a new bath everyday.
