Answer
Hi Tim,
The picture is too dark for me to see. A pimple or red around the eye suggests that he may have "Popeye" There are many reasons why a fish may get popeye. The best treatment is "Tetracycline" if caught in time. Maracyn, and Maracyn 2 combined are also good, but I prefer "Tetracycline" This disease is curable if you treat him quickly. Poor water conditions are the main cause to popeye, although there are other reasons.
Check your water before treating him, and make sure he has no ammonia, or nitrites in his water.
I hope the little guy pulls through.
