Any chance of showing a pic of him so we can see if its fungal or parasite? In the mean time give him a big water change and up the temperature....I like the temp to be around 27-28c.

Thanks for the reply,
He was in a community tank so had to remove him into a large vase lol nothing else to hand and also no spare heater so he is on a radiator, he seems to have perked up a bit the crazy swimming around has calmed down and the White stuff has faded a little. Havent worked out how to post a pic yet

Make sure you stick in a thermometer so he doesn't cool down/over heat on the radiator. Try to get him into another tank or back into the main tank as soon as is possible because with no filtration and in such a small amount of water he'll quickly get sick.
