vavoli Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 My Danio is sick, he's a weird shape, looks bent over like an old man and isn't eating at all. He's moving really slow compared to the other Danio. The other one is fat and fast but this one looks sad. His fins arn't as long and pretty as the other one It's not fin rot, they just look bent and weird. He moves slower than the guppy now and used to be the fastest in the tank! Any advice or suggestions would be much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolliolli Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 does his back have an 's' curve to it? Fish TB can cause an 's' shaped curvature of the spine. Its not very common and happens slowly so if its happened all of a sudden its probably not tb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jolliolli Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 from what i've read its not 'highly' contagious, but still probably best to quarantine regardless. its just one possibility perhaps someone else might have some suggestions as to a possible cause Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Fish TB is a very serious matter and is totally transferable to humans. A member on here caught it unfortunatly i believe and from the sounds of its a very nasty thing to have. I dont think it would be TB tho, usually they get sores and what not going on aswell but it would pay to quarantine it just incase. It could be inferior stock? It doesnt take long for them to bend up sometimes, gold danios are pretty prone to it. Other than that i would probably go for some sort of internal bug.

Caryl Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 He islooking very skinny in the top photo. Could be internal parasites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
