Internal parasites, and alot of other fish in the tank will have them, there is a med but its hard to get hold of it's called levimsole, its a pig worming tablet, plus internal parasites cause bacteria infecrion on top, as they do alot of damage inside the fish, so sometimes the med is to late.
If you cant get the med you are best destroying the sick fish with the worms, and sterlising the tank completely, striping everything down.

Sorry R.I.P. Keep an eye on the other fish as some others could be infected.
