My ryukin has all the symptoms of having a parasite, a belly bulge, clear poop casing, and constantly surfacing for air. What do I do?! I have two other fish, is this contagious? Help!

May just be constipation. Feed it green peas (shelled and defrosted) and fast it for 2 to 3 days. If it is constipation he should return to normal after. If not, then it's parasite, then it's Alot harder to treat.
