sounds like the fish is rotting somewhere in the tank, do you have any AMQUEL or AMMO-LOCK?

No what's that gonna do

it will lock up the amonnia and prevent it from harming your system until it can be removed via skimming, water changes, etc.
i keep a small bottle on hand at all times for just such an emergency.
