I think the paradise fish is picking on him my plan was move him to a 30 gallon anyway which I will do ASAP

Chinese algae eaters can get territorial and mean, can suck the slime coats off fish at night, and they get big. I'd remove him as soon as you can.

I would guess the paradise fish is doing exactly that. Hopefully there is no other problem, but with no pictures and you having limited access, I don't know what else you can. My sympathies about your house! I hope you can get back in there soon.
