Just saying the water and tank size is "fine" isn't really helping very much, a bit more information could help diagnose a problem. With the information you have given it is almost impossible to say what could be wrong.

Whats the nitrite and nitrate? Tank size?

 

[CFC]

Nitrite and Nitrate levels are needed too and are more important than pH and temperature, and what about aquarium size?

Also things like where the fish was purchased from (local or by mail order) can be helpfull.
