My fish was fine a couple of days ago and then I found him dead on the bottom of the tank with a white saddle. What might be the cause and how should I treat the tank?

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Can you provide some additional info please ?
How long has the tank been set up ?
How hard is your water ?
What temperature is your tank water ?
Are you using an airstone ?
What are you feeding the hillstream loach ?

Thanks

Welcome to the forum. :)
Sorry to see the problem. :(
If you can answer @Stephen's questions we may be able to help.
Also, in addition can you provide a pic of the tank so we can see whether the setup is ok for hillstreams and a list of tankmates?
If at first you don't succeed....
...get someone else to do it! :D

Enjoy your fish, shrimps and snails!
