Panda oranda not well again PLEASE HELP!!!!

Hi
I dont want to lose my baby....
here are the symptoms
-Gills moving constanty
-mouth opening and closing constantly
-black "charcol smudge" type patches on body
- Leaning slightly to the right at top of tank ( moves once every 5 or so
minutes)
-half closed fins
He eats a little bit that he can see right infron of him...looks very keen
for a second, then goes to his spot on the top of the tank

For constipation, how long do i continue the epsom salt treatment till the
fish gets better. I think i stopped to early last time because hes floating
again.

The only treatments i have available is epsom salt, pure rock salt, multi
cure, melafix and pimafix. No one in this bloody town have anything
else!!!!!

hope someone can clear this one up for me!
TIA

This seems like water quality issues - probably ammonia -
what are your ammonia, nitrite and nitrate levels. How big a tank and
inhabitants.
