Any one please help, here is the case:
I hav kohaku with about 14 cm long, about 3 days ago the fish swim lethargicly and I supect something wrong with the fish so I moved the fish to small aquarium with 2 additional small kois for acompanies. I put heater to 32C, aerator and about 0.5% salt. I noticed that the gill and mouth movement is so rapid (the mouth movement was not widely open nor fully closed either but the movement was rapid). There is no sign of redness in the whole body and no split or rednes around the fin, the whole body looked clean and normal, the only thing was the eye of fish looked sunken. One day later the fish condition was worse, its stayed unmoved at the corner of aquarium with nose up and tail at the bottom (almost like standing), but suddenly without any reason it will move panicly for a short while and than stay lethargic at the bottom. If bother it will still move and swim with fin open (no clamp fin but also not widely open fin). I add teramycin for about 30mg per 30L of water. The next day I found the fish was dead. I opened the gill cover and the gill looked normal no sign the gill being eaten, the color of gill was not blood color but it was rather pale. I ve encountered this kind of deases before but no matter what I tried to cure I always failed. Anyone culd help what was happening and how to cure it, just incase in the future I will encounter this problem again? I suspect the fish was poisoned by high nitrite in the main pond but this is the only fish affected from my over crowded pond, unfortunately I hav run out of test kit so I cudnt test the water condition that might couse this. 
You know it's addicted and cost you a lot of money, but still doing it!
