If your fish has fungus something must have caused it. These things do not "just happen". The usual cause is putrid water. First lets treat the fungus. You will need 2 clean buckets. Fill them both with clean water of the same temperature as the fishes tank. Dissolve 1 dessertspoonfull of cooking/sea salt per gallon in one bucket and add the fish to the salty water. If the fish show signs of distress put the fish in the other none salted bucket and weaken the solution by pouring some of the salty water away and replacing it with clean then place the fish back in the salted water again. While the fish is in the salty water you can remove most of the water from the tank and replace it with clean water of the same temperature and add 1 teaspoonfull of salt per gallon of water. Check the filter out and either clean or replace at least 80% of the filter medium. After about 1 hour in the salty water the fish can be placed back in the tank. If you do this treatment and water change procedure daily for a week or so the fish may well recover fully. Then stick to the basic rules of "1 inch of fish needs a minimum of 1 gallon of water". "Every tank containing aquatic life needs a cycled filter". and last but not least "every tank containing life needs to have at least 50% of its water changed weekly".
