Red spots on fins

Hello, i have a sick fish. i haven't seen these symptoms before and nothing
fits on my disease chart so it's got me stumped. I have a 5 year old blue
gourami, he has some red spots on both sides of his pectoral fins. There
are no other spots anywhere on him. he seems to be hiding in a clay pot,
not his usual behavior. Any suggestions on what this might be and what i
could use to treat it? I have some pimafix and melafix but i'm reluctant to
add anything to the tank until i know what it is. tia. W.

Research hemorrhagic septicaemia. Gouramis are prone to this. Symptoms
are redness at base of certain fins. Otherwise, I have several good
diagnostic web sites listed here.
