Hey guys, I finally got the fish I have been waiting for! Two golden Bushy Nose Plecos! I just brought them home and am floating them now but I just noticed that one of them has a bent side fin (pectoral I think is what it's called) The end of it is bent upward. Other than that he seem fine and he swims fine I just wanted to know if I should be worried? Will it eventually grow back to normal? I am so happy to finally have these guys! I've been waitng fot the LFS to get them in for over a month! ;D
 
Make sure to watch and see if it gets worse because it could potentially be an injury or even a disease, but if he appears to be fine, then chances are that it is just a small mutation in its genes.

Okay, thanks. I'll be sure to keep an eye on it. :)
