Blue Line Angel Sick

[Angelguy2502]

Good evening.
Im new here but have been reading posts for a while now and hope someone can help me out.
My Blue Line Angel all of a sudden stopped eating and is swimming in a weird manner as if it was heavy and it is trying to drag itself up. It is breathing really heavy and it seems to have a redish coloration on his mouth. I pulled him out of my 300gal DT and he is in a smaller tank by himself but I have no idea what it is.
Thanks for anyone that could somehow help me out.
