Change its water. When a fish gets lethargic it is a sign that the water is bad. Please keep in mind these basic rules :- 1 inch of fish needs at least 1 gallon of water . All fish need a cycled filter running 24/7. Every tank needs to have at least 50% of its water changed weekly. If you are not doing ALL of the above things your fish will die. Every successfull aquarist knows and lives by the above rules.
