Hi, yesterday i noticed my Blue Acara was just sitting on the bottom, not really moving all day and I thought something wasnt quite right.
Then this morning he seemed to have perked up a little and was swimming around. I've just arrived home from work and he seems to be swimming around, but theres a distinct redness around the base of both his pectoral fins.
The particular fish in question has recently (past 2 weeks) recovered from White Spot, which it spread to some of the other tankmates, but I treated this and all the fish recovered with zero casulties.
I think once I have helped it recover I may look to rehome him as he seems prone to illness, whereas my other fish are fine, and the water parametres are sound. The woman in my LFS said she has nothing but trouble with Blue Acaras in terms of whitespot and other illnesses.
Any help or possible treatment will be fantastic, I'm going to do a 30% water change now to see if that helps.
Here are some pictures (sorry about awful quality, I had to zoom in loads)
