check out some of the archived disease threads, it may be ich or brookylena (spelling?) you will find what you are looking for there.

It is either ich or brooklynella. A freshwater dip will help with brooklynella a bit, but not at all with ich. Check teh fish disease thread in the archives to ID it. In any case, move the fish immediately to your quarantine. Try feeding it something special, like a tiny piece of raw shrimp, or raw squid. DO NOT TREAT WITHOUT CONSULTING THE DISEASE THREAD
