i did. hes back in his 1 gallon. what do i treat it with??

OK that is looking bad. Need more info please.

You say he is in a 1 gallon. Thats' on the small side - is it filtered and heated?
Do you have a test lit to take ammonia and nitrite readings? Both should be NIL.
If you are in the UK, buy Interpet Anit Internal Bacteria medicine, you can get it most places. or something similar. It's about a fiver. make sure to check the dosage on the side, it will be very little for such a small tank.
If you have a light for the tank, keep it off to cut down on stress. Only do a water change if your stas are bad, you don't wanna stress him in that state.
How long has he looked like this for? It looks pretty far gone to me.
Is he displaying any other symptoms? Does he lie on the gravel, rub or flick himself as if he has an itch? Open sores? Fluff?? Spots?

he was in a 33 gallon, untill i noticed this. then i movd him to the 1 gallon. i put some Ick Away. i think it looks worse since i went to walmart to get that stuff. i got back and he was vertical almost, and barely breathing. i put that stuff in and turned off the light. right now hes sittin on the bottom, barely breathing. barely moving his mouth...i have to keep checking on him to make sure he even is moving.

but that stuff said after 24 hours, do a 50% water change, then medicate again, then do another water change with no meds. so i dunno. i guess well have to wait and see...

He doesn't have ich. If I were you I would get him out of that medication. Scoop him up in a cup and then change all the remaining water cos that med will not help him at all. Is the water heated? He will not be happy if he is cold. Maybe you can float the 1 gallon in the 33 gallon if possible, to try to keep the water warm? Go and get some anti internal bacteria meds today if you want any hope of saving him. Some of them can be used every day i think, this would be better for you if you are not filtering the tank as you can then do say a 50% water change per day before adding more meds, this will at least keep your water stats OK.

It's not ich. That's all I can say. I had a fish that looked like him once, and he died about an hour later. My fish was laying there, barely moving....REst in Peace, Theo...
