Von Rio Flame Tetra with unusual red spot.
This morning I noticed a red spot on the right side of one of my Von Rios.

Definitely wasn't there in the past few days. He is the only one in the tank with this. His did eat this morning normally but his behavior does seem unusual. Currently he is sticking to the right side of the tank and chasing off the other Von Rios if they come near. He is leaving all other fish alone.
This tank is only a few months old. The water is tap water using a water conditioner/dechlorinator. I have never had a problem with the water in the past two years of using it so I'm sure that's not an issue. The water quality is fine. Just tested it this morning after seeing his condition. Recently did a 15% water change in the past week. I have Pimafix on hand so I did apply a dose of that this morning.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I have a 20g tank with a top fin 20 filter and sand as my substrate.
