Classic case of TB. Unfortunately there's probably not much you can do for them. You could try treating with kanamycin but if they're already wasting it may not do much. It may be best to euthanize the fish to prevent him from suffering. But whatever you want to do, definately remove the fish from the tank immediately to prevent him from passing it on to the other fish. Just be careful since it is possible on rare occasions for a human to become infected with the pescine TB as a skin infection, so don't put your bare hand in the tank if you have any cuts.
TB can also cause other symptoms--basically anything that any other bacterial disease can cause, like finrot (but it won't go away with finrot meds), ulcers, etc, so be looking out for any fish showing suspicious symptoms and isolate them immediately. If you catch it early you may have a chance trying to treat it, if you are willing to try.
