If its breathing ...it isn't dead. If it swims around every so often...fighting to get to the top and then when it finally reaches the top, floats back down to the bottom...it is almost certainly dying. There is nothing you can do ...just watch it. When it is dead it will stop breathing and its colors will fade after a while.

It's not dead til it floats on the top. I had to watch a neighbor's fish and was horrified to see one of them propped up on the side. The other fish had gored holes into it. It was horrible.

If it is sinking it may be sick, go to the pet store and ask them for med for it.

Well if he is breathing he is still alive, but I think he maybe sick or dying.
