take my fish to the vet???u jest! its old age thats all.they go grey,then the teeth fall out,then they become incontinent(which is ok since you cant tell,no expensive adult fish nappies for them) then they start wandering to strange parts of the tank when you dont expect it.its the normal fish aging process.my advice is cook the barsteward and b done with it.hope this helps.
