Default I fear nemo is dying and fast

As some of you might know from my other post, I got two clowns and they have ich. I checked on them before retiring for bed tonight and found only one swimming around the tank. Fearing for the worst I seached the tank and found nemo the smallest one treading water so to speak in the bottom right of the tank between a rock and the back of the tank. He isn't moving but just hovering back there. And it seems like he is going belly up in a means that he is looking normal other then the movement and almost going sideways. He is gasping more then usual too. What can I do? I'm probably gonna lose him huh? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Everything looks normal. I'm really upset about this. I know everyone fails at one point in this but I really don't want to lose this fish.

What are your tank parameters, how often do you feed? What filtration are you using?
Do you have another quartine tank for the clownfish if you needed it for a hospital tank? Your going to need to treat that clownfish with copper in a Med Tank.

If you have a LFS that sells 2.5 gallon tanks, buy one of those, a filter and heater for it too. Buy this product called:
Aquarium Fish Medication: SeaCure Copper Treatment

Check your LFS to see if they have any copper treatments there so you don't have to order one online. You can use the same water from your tank for the small hospital tank.
Do this now before you lose him!!!
