IMO, the problem looks like an injury just above the eye. The white stuff is probably fungus that has attached itself to the damaged tissue.
 
Looks bad. Split fins. Darker than normal color. The whole pleading for its life right in front of our eyes.. details please?? Everything about everything and what you have for breakfast on sundays too
 
They are they are a new addition to the tank and this popped up yesterday for the first time. The tail is a older problem and is growing back well however his colour is like the rest of my blue acara.
 
It’s a 300 litre curve glass. It has a 4 keyholes and a few smaller fish. There are also two golden wonder killis. There are lots of plants and hiding spaces and a floating weed / plant where they can hide when scared. They all get along really well and the keyholes and acara s hang out together.
