Err, get your water tested.

Fish don't just randomly burn. Most of those are a bit bright flashing neon sign that say ammonia toxicity.

sounds like ammonia to me as well. This tells me that you are feeding waaaaaay to much, have an overcrowded tank, not enough filtration and / or your tank is not cycled.

Do some serious water changes.. Check your filter media for an accumulation of crud/slim/nasty crap.

Unless you are experienced enough to know what to look for, this is an absolutely pointless step. Get your water tested ASAP and post results. As a responsible fish owner, you should have already been doing that. I purchased a testing kit on Amazon for less than $15.

You don't want people telling you what to do even though you've posted this on a very community driven website. Why post if you don't want others opinions? If it's in fact a water quality issue, take what countless members have been telling you here for months seriously. Everyone here hates fish death. Don't take on more than you can handle.

Have fun with your amateur necropsy...I hope you wear gloves.
