Then may be sick. You also need to raise the temperature to around 78* as they are tropical fish. What is the tank size and parameters?

I was talking to u in an earlier thread I think your tank is not yet cycled so you prob have a ammonia or nitrite spike going on which is harmful to fish. Also what filter is running on that tank and what size is the tank you may have low oxygen in your water if their isn't enough surface water movement to create gas exchange in your water. It could be all of these things compounding together.
