Curved spine

[tmdavies]

Hello yesterday i noticed my male panchax spine is curved. What does this mean? Apart from his spine he is normal no loss of appetite or lathargic.

I don't know much about it except that tetras have that same disease maybe it could be the same for your fish also Ive seen that it's a sign that the fish is too large for the tank

So should i euthanise the fish or wait to see

i have a snow white cichlid that has this and he dose fine . i figure as long as he eats and swims and seams happy ill let him live out his life. i have 3 special needs fish and i love them and they are all 3 in the same tank. i think of them as my own kids so what would i do.

they ussually live through it and adapt to it.

Not sure if that's quite the reason. I have a Dwarf Gourami that I moved to a 100 gl. and his spine recently became curved. the only thing I can attribute mines to: is Spawning. He did the mating dance and built several nests, and fertilized eggs and what not. Maybe he threw his back out... will post pic later.
