Worried 1st time Channa owner

What are you treating it for? With?

Your problem is simple. You have a large waste producing fish in a tank without a mature filter. Its own waste products are the thing killing it.

DO NOT FEED IT atm. Do you eat when you’re sick?

Cloudy eyes i had sent it to the person i bought it and asked them about this. The fish wasn't even 24hrs in that tank. The photos that i posted was not even 12 hrs old, not even 6hrs old. Where will the ammonia came from when the fish hasn't pooped in it yet? Literally when i placed it 30 mins after that if wasn't actively moving. THATS WHY I ASKED beacuse it was new to me for someone to tell me not to put anything in tank.
Im using API's melafix ALSO Why does it sound like its my fault when everything that i did is what the person who i bought it from told me to do.
And what am i gonna do to the fish since its already here? Since " you havent cycled your tank" should i throw it away to wait form my tank to be cycled?? I already said i used water conditioners to make the water suitable to it. Then as you have said put salt, i did, i have already ordered last night WAY BEFORE you suggested it. You make it sound like im not doing anything.

No one blamed you. I clearly said you were the victim of bad advice.
Ammonia is produced by the gills and in the urine.
I gave you the solution for keeping a large fish in an uncycled aquarium. Large daily water changes.
Now you’re all offended by the help that is being offered.
I’m signing off now. Work it out yourself
