You have had this guy for awhile? This is a tough one, if all parameters are on and all other fish seem fine... Do you notice anything on him? Can you give us more information?

What have you been feeding him?
Is there a possibility of him being harassed?

Hard to help here since you can't really get a good look at this fish. Also, no way to treat him wo an established QT.
