My blue/black/green/red crowntail has a light human flesh color on his gill plates. He has been acting sluggish for the last few days, but the coloration just appeared today. It is on both gill plates. And he is still acting sluggish.

He just had a water change day before yesterday. I will do another one today. He is in a one gallon tank.

Is there any medication I should give him? I have no clue what he has so I don't know what to give him. I have the Jungle brand stuff for parasites and Melafix for bacteria. And obviously if there is a different medicine I need to get to make him better, I will have no problem going out and looking for it. But I would prefer the name of the medication not the ingredent because it's hard to look at all the bottles for ingredents when I'm holding my toddler at the same time.

PLEASE!!! PLEASE help me!! I don't want to loose him. I was told he's less than a year old, so he has more life to live. PLEASE!!
 
I just went and looked at him, the coloring is almost normal, but he was kinda laying to the side. He's been laying on the bottom for a couple of days now. Only going up when I walk up to his tank or when I put food in.

The flesh color just looked like his scales turned that color. It didn't look like any kind of growth or anything.

I also noticed that his gills seem to be sticking out a bit. Like they are swollen.
