It might be too late. Can you see if it's gills are red?

The gills are perfectly fine. Do you think I should euthanize it?

If it was my fish, I would use clove oil and put him down. I don't think he is going to live too long on his side.

Ugh, I think I've mis identified the type of fish. Its not a guppy, its a Molly.

Either way, it doesn't sound too good.

Well, I'm not going to kill him. He might have a chance of surviving. If he does by tommorow morning, I'll go pick up a ton of peas for him.

He just died. Sad day... Hope he is in a better place.

Sorry about your fish. Keep a good eye on the rest of them, and get some frozen peas to feed them once a week.
Microwave in water for about 3 minutes, run under cold water, pop the mushy middle out onto a spoon, and smash with your finger. Then just scoop a little onto your finger and swish into the tank. My fish LOVE peas.
