A lot of fish that scratches itself along sharp edges or gravels is usually because of ich.

sometimes he stay at the top of the tank near the air, ignored the pellets, and not very lively.. my problem is i don't have more stock of water thats why i can't change the water immediately, since we are using chlorinated water then i should wait another 3 days to remove the chlorine and change the water, i hope he can survive till i can able to change the water.

Looks to be scratching his gills not his sides.

If it were me I'd throw in some coppersafe and be done with it.

btw i went to the nearest lfs to buy some remedy and they offer me these AQUA CARE and METHYLINE BLUE, i have no choice but to grab those.

lets see if those things will work...

you might want to check the expiration dates on those.

Did they have any type of copper sulfate?
The Aqua Care just looks to be a water conditioner.
