Sorry about the dirty glass but I got a sailfim from my lfs the other day he was swimming good eating nori seemed really healthy I seen some marks on the gill area but thought it was normal now that it's in quarentine parameters are fine ph amonia nitrite nitrate all good and I got a good surface airation. Not medicating yet. He is breathing heavily today and not eating and now that I got a closer look at him he seems to have a skin disease. What you think?

I don't see anything on the skin except possibly the beginnings of HLLE, but the heavy breathing isn't good. You could try a freshwater dip to check for flukes in the gills.
 
Are the marks on the gills red by any chance? I can't see anything wrong based on the photo either.
