My fish is at the bottom of the tank, breathing slowly. What's wrong?

Question

My fish swims to eat but then goes back to the bottom of the tank and stays there, I am treating him for ich too. His breathing is slow and steady but he just stays at the bottom of the tank. His friend died a few days ago too, could he be lonely ? Or stressed ? Pet's info: Fish | Unknown - Fish

Thanks for reaching out about Nemo and including photos. There is no evidence of Ich in the photos. Have you tested water quality for pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates? Correct problems. If having difficulty breathing (slow gill rate) add an air stone. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.
