I will be posting a pic soon. A bit of background
My female acara Jazz has been struggling for some time with what appeared to be swim bladder. She recovered from Popeye in the last two months. Awhile back she flopped into the garbage disposal which appeared to make her swim bladder? Gas? flare up more. She goes through bouts of head standing for days then stops briefly. About two weeks ago she started refusing food after eating on a daily basis.
Now she's suddenly developed a black circle of raised flesh on her body. There's a red ring showing a bit on her mouth. The base of her tail is showing very early signs of fungus with a loosening scale. Her sides are normal but her belly is getting slightly hollow. I've done everything I can think of.
