someone please help me i'm freaking out. i was gone for two days and all of my pets were under the care of my father and sister. well i came home to my favorite fish, my betta zeus, lying not moving next to the filter and gasping. i immediately put him in a 1 gallon hospital bowl and checked him out. he did not eat any of his food the whole time, and there are pellets all over the tank. he is super clamped and barely breathing. he's lethargic and has trouble swimming. i shined a flashlight on him and would swear that i see a shiny orange/gold color next to his gills and on his fins. his face looks different too. it looks like there are more white spots, but you cant tell from pictures i dont think.

i'm begging you, please help me. i can't lose him, he is my little angel and will forever be my favorite fish. i don't know what else to do! i put stress coat in the water, a little bit of AQ salt, and some maracyn which usually always helps my bettas. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
