I'm sad to say there isn't much you can do only a water change, how long has the tank been set up.

Three weeks i have follow all the instructions
this is my first sick fish and it so heart breaking
that i just can't help the little fella

If you used the fish to cycle the tank i 'm afraid to say it's took it's toll on the fish, sorry, you are not far off from being cycled if you have a 03 reading in nitrites, if you have no scaless fish add some salt to the tank one tablespoon to 5 gal.

If it is a parasite and you say its on there side it may be a type or parasitic worm and then you can use coppersafe. one of my fish has had it and it worked perfectly. Also did you put in a quarintine tank?

I'm sorry to hear about your fish Even if you do end up losing this one, I would still treat the tank for internal parasites.

Can you give full water parameters for your tank? Was the water change before or after the reading you posted?
