So I'm treating for ich in my fish tank and also some minor fin rot (my fish came from the pet store with both) and I've already had to euthanize one with clove oil; it was pale, isolating itself, constantly gasping, covered in ich. So all the other fish seem healthy, they were schooling with each other, but I noticed a different one is gasping. it still has a little bit of ich and some fin rot, it was schooling with the others and everything, so I'm here to ask; is it just stress from medication/existing disease or something serious? I'm not in the mood to kill another fish and I was going to wait a day or 2 and see if its condition got worse. Is this a good idea? I really don't want to lose another.
update: it seems to have inflamed gills, from the bottom they're more visible than on the others and pinkish-red. It's late where I am, I really don't know what to do

You better do small water changes everyday and before feeding them soak the food in some garlic solution(basically crush the garlic in a tiny amount of water and put food in it for 5 minutes before feeding them), there are some solutions available from seachem which includes garlic and vitamins if you wanna try that. Like you said they came like that from the aquarium then this is your best bet in fighting any new infections. I had similar issue with my sepae tetras and this helped a lot.
