It's gills look red it could be ammonia burn I would do daily small water changes and add prime I would also add a small amount of aquarium salt 1 table spoon for 2 gallons salt will improve gill  function and add essential electrolytes that fish need

Thanks guys I did everything that y'all recommended and he's more stable now, got the ammonia down to 0 with another water change. 

Added salt and will be doing so for a couple of days and will be checking the water parameters morning and evening.
