I think my comet is bleeding internally.

I think it was his food that did it. He was just fine this morning until after I fed him (I feed him tetrafin and switch it out for other brands to give him a little variety). Almost immediately after being fed his fins start clamping up and he spent most of the day at the bottom of the tank in a corner.

he's had a small red patch at the tip of his fin for a few days, but I just assumed it was a bruise, (He's had one before and the red disappeared after a few days).

I'm assuming there was something in the food that's poisoning him. I doubt he has septicemia because I do water changes every week to two weeks, (that and he's the only fish in the 15 gallon tank). I came back after work to check on him and the red has just spread in his fins. I think he might die at this point but if anyone's got any ideas on how I can help him or make him more comfortable, I'd appreciate it.

I really hope he pulls through b/c I've had him for almost two years...
