Shes seems fine otherwise. What do i do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 It can be a genetic fault or a sign of old age sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 agree with caryl, most of the time the bends are due to genetics (weakened genes due to inbreeding etc). do you know how old she is (juvie, adult etc) and did she develop this in your care or was she like that before? fish with TB often get bent spines but i would highly doubt that that is the cause, its pretty rare in NZ thankfully. not much you can do, you can euthanaise her if you think it is causing her pain or she is unable to live a normal life but if she seems fine then treat her like any other normal fishy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
