Your fish is suffering fin rot, ich and fungus... he is unlikely to eat much until he is cured. Test for ammonia, nitrite and nitrate - it sounds like your tank may be suffering poor water quality. Do regular water changes and vacuum the gravel. Maracyn makes meds that can be used in combination with each other as you will have to treat for both ick and fungus. Good luck...

Sounded like he was in rough shape. Be sure to give your friend a hand setting up his next tank.
