I think He has a parasite that is causing him to curl like that... How fast can you get anti-fungal meds? It looks like it could be too late. I need you to answer some questions for me.
What are your water parameters?
How long has the tank been set up?
Did you cycle your tank?
When does his food expire?
What are you feeding him?
How often do you change his water?
How long have you had him?
What other fish (if any) are in the tank with him?
Thanks!

And she won't move? In that case, it sounds almost like she's resting. You've got the right food, and you're doing all the right things, she could've just been sick at the store. How was she acclimated?
 
In her cup she Floated in the top of tank for 30 minutes or so every ten minutes adding water from her new tank to the cup then added to her new tank

:( I'm sorry for your loss. :(

I agree :-(. It seems like you did everything possible and you provided him some peace at the end. The fact you care so much shows you'll be a wonderful fish keeper from here on.
 
Yes I will it is almost ready for another and Eco thanks that meant a lot to me
