I think Qarantineing him and adding salt is the way to go  and add an extra air stone is it possible he been bullied by other fish in your tank have you noticed any aggression

There's angelfish in the tank but they only seem to bother each other, will monitor and update if situation changes.

Unfortunately he didn't make it, inspected the gills but didn't see any signs of damage or parasites ( I don't have a microscope though) 

If anyone has any ideas what may have caused this so I can prevent it in the future it would be appreciated. 

Community tank is a 240 litre ( 48 inchs by 18 inches ) I believe this is a 65 gallon ? 

2 inch sand substrate, Large piece of bogwood, black lava rock and various  plants. 

Running 2 sponge filter ( for aeration and so I have cycled filters for rainy days ) 

And a ultramax Cannister filter running sponge and bio rings.
