Size of tank in gallons or litres.
How many fish and which type.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.
What do you feed your fish?
Are scales sticking out.
Can the fish maintain its balance in the water.

Diet could do with inproving to many dried foods, fish need a varied diet of frozen foods and veg.
Epson salt baths and if you can issolate bacterial med.
Don't feed for a few days.
Try some peas.
You cook frozen peas for a few minutes, let cool down and pop out of shell, mush between fingers into small peices and add to the tank.
