I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help my with my sick
goldfish.

He (or she?) is alone in a 3 gallon Eclipse tank with a "bio wheel" filter.
He's about 4" long (including the tail).

Symptoms:
1. He's leaned over to his right side.
2. Doesn't seem to be able to move his fins. He can only move his left
front fin.
3. His lips are bright red.
4. The tips of his tail are discolored (greyish)
5. Very lethargic.
6. A poop has been hanging behind him for a few days.
7. I've not fed him in two days.
8. I tried to feed him a pea, but he wasn't interested. He spit it out.

Thank you.
