Also indicate what if anything you have used as treatment (like salt, antibiotics, anti fungal, etc.) and for how long.

How long has the tank been cycled? How big is the tank and type of filtration? Do you have a water conditioner that neutralizes ammonia like Prime?
If you cant test your water with a liquid test kit find a fish store that can. The numbers for ammonia and nitrite must be 0ppm, nitrates should be higher than 0ppm. Make sure the test using liquid tests and not strips.

I have a tester kit just never opened it. We are t home much right now due to a time crunch at work but will try tonight if I don't get home too late. Tank has been up and going for months with a different fish in it. Just a regular top of the tank double filter is what I use. When I do water changes (once per week) I just use a start right solution.
Do a 50 % water change, turn you temperature up to 85-86. Then add salt. The next day he should look fine. If not and you still see the white fuzzy stuff then your fish has a fungus which you will need to treat with meds. So your going to have to hold off on feeding him so he let the meds work
