everyone!!!!!
i really wanna save it!!!!!
a few hours ago my bgk was swimming merrily from place to place and then just after a few hours i came and saw that my bgk was lying on the gravel not moving at all only breathing its white tail has turned a pinkish red colour and it only flourishes its fin without moving when i touch it with the net!!!!
it looks fine to me!!!!
but here are links to its current pics.

P.S:i have methylene blue, anti white spot and and anti fungus in store and i am doing a 60 percent water change right now so tell me if i shud add these medicines.i noticed a white wierd patch near its tail it looked like fungus so i put in fungus medicine and YES i did dechlorinate the new water.!!!
 
Did it start reacting funny before or after you added the med?
BGKS are very sensitive to meds
 
what are your water stats in
Ammonia
nitrite and
nitrate please?
also ph, temperature of tank and size of tank. list of other fish in there will all help
 
As well as answering the water stats questions? can you tell us what other fish you have inthe tank with him, as it looks to me like he has several 'chunks' taken out of his bottom fin, plus the red tail would indicate he has been bitten if it wasnt there a couple of hours before hand.

And as Davo says, please do not medicate as they are extremely sensitive to meds, without first finding out what meds you can use and what is wrong with him.
 
well there are some angelfish and goldies in there and it is a 64 gallon tank and the temp is 29 degrees celsius and no ammonia, no nitrate and no nitrite the angelfish are forming pairs so they have become a bit agressive but i thought they could,nt hurt the bgk cuz it also is supposed to be agressive. and not too much bioload. and i am sure i has fungus.

Please tell me you don't mean goldfish ?
 
As stated above it may have been a reaction to the meds.

Also, you need to relocate either your angelfish or the goldfish , preferably the Angels as the golds shouldn't be kept in any tank below 55 gallons.

Goldfish are NOT a tropical species and exposure to such high temperatures will shorten their lifespans in the long run regardless of how healthy they may look to you. They are a cool/coldwater fish only.
