This is normally due to ammonia poisoning and they exhibit symptoms like lost of appetite, red streaks on the fins n body, etc.
To remedy this you got to change water at least 25% to 50% and lower pH to below 7.0. Stop feeding and change the water daily other than ensuring Ammonia is undectable.
Good luck.

how long have you been keeping the fish dude ?
Also, there seems to be some HLLE on the right side of the fish just below the eye.
which is mainly nutritional deficiencies.
Most prob. regular water change n veggie diet would help.

When I got the fish, the top fin was worst than that. Or should I say almost no fin. Guess it had a big fight. After 2 month plus it start to grow back. It has been feeding well. Will check the ammonia level again as I just change the water.... about 20%. Seems like the condition is getting worst. But it is still feeding. Will continue to monitor.
