Please help with my fish, there are 2 of these guys, I am not sure what type of fish they are

both of them are very inactive, and now have pink around the gills

they no longer come to the surface to eat, they just sit on the bottom most of the time.

1 of them sometimes leans over sideways while on the bottom.

I am looking for the type of medication I could try.

Thanks in advance.

what are your water stats like ie ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH
the fish is some type of cichlid possibly a keyhole
 
The results from a test i just did are

PH 7.0
nitrite 0
nitrate 10
ammonia 0.25

so i just did a 1/4 tank water change for the ammonia but it was 0 ammonia on last test and fish were sick then

tank is 120 litres

and other inhabitants are 8 neon tetras (seem ok)
and 1 cat fish (seems ok)
and 1 mollie (also shows signs of pink gill but is still active and eating) although he swims at a angle with the head higher than the tail

it looks bacterial to me i would get a bateria med
 
Keep doing water changes to get the ammonia reading down.
Increase aeration.

I think I would add a bacterial med also.
