You should move the fish from the main tank to a quarantine tank. Make sure the water parameters (KH, GH, TDS, pH, and Temperature) match in both tanks.

If the fish is struggling and in pain, you may want to euthenize it with some clove oil. Or just cover the quarantine tank with a towel and check on the fish every few hours until it has died on it's own.
