hello,
I have a full grown neon rosy barb in my planted aquarium which i recently noticed has become "bent". It is bent right behind the dorsal fin and sort of straightens out right before the tail making it "S" shaped. This is not a extreme S but still quite noticeable. I have a very clean tank with a 33-50% water change every 10-15 days. All the other fish including other rosy barbs seem very happy (they are all types of barbs except for a cory and 2 ottos) and I have never even had one loss from this tank. I have a more than adequate filtration system, it's a 20 gallon tank with a 50 gallon overflow style filter. The fish in question seems not to mind its defect and eats as much as always and still schools with the others. I'm worried this may be a disease which could crash my tank. any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks much,
George
