Fish Playing Dead?

[Cookielici0us]

So i have a black skirt tetra that was covered in ich a few minutes ago... and now all the ich is gone and my tetra has a hard time staying up... i found him or her...laying on its side on the bottom of the tank so i assumed it was dead, but it wasnt...so I took him/her out and it started to u know...do what fishes do when you take them out of water so i put him/her in a quarantine tank of 2 gallons with the same water from the orginal tank...it seems to still be half swimming and half laying on its side... i added one cup of conditioned tap water in there and he/she has been getting up and laying back down again and so i put some food in there for my fishy.... and its doing better... im pretty sure it has popeye and still some ich attached to it...what do i do?

How many gallons or litres is your tank please?
How many fish and which type?
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite nitrate, and ph?

Do your fish look like they have been sprinkled in salt?
Do any fish have tiny white spots on them?
Can the fish maintain balance in the water?
Does the fish also look bloated?
Has the fish gone darker in colour. Or look pale?
What do you feed your fish?
