So my large male electric blue acara was fine yesterday. He loves to swim in the currents of my Wave Runner and then just let the waves push him back and he'll do this over and over. He's a very playful fish and this morning I found him in the tank acting very unusual in the corner with his pectoral fins facing the wrong direction instead of covering his body going from the front to the back they were covering his face facing from the back forward I have pictures included. I couldn't find any information on what this could possibly be online. I'm going to go ahead and treat him for a bacterial infection because his stomach does also look a little bit concave but is it possible that someone just beat him up enough to wear his fins are bent backward? Any help would be greatly appreciated I love this fish so very much he was my very first tropical fish and I really don't want anything to happen to him.
