Post in the fish section of this website.. I think you'll get more expert help with this situation. I suggest you do a decent water change as your parameters are off. Is the fish in a QT?

I don't mean to criticize but how old is your tank to house a CBB? Those fish are notoriously difficult to keep, even for long time veterans.
